Description
An officer's house and workshops, built around 1806 and later altered in the 19th and 20th centuries, originally part of the Shrewsbury Armoury. The building has been converted into four houses. It is constructed of brick, with painted brickwork and a Welsh slate roof. The entrance front is dominated by the former officer's house, number 7, a two-storey, three-window range with a central entrance. It features 12-pane sash windows on the ground floor, each with a wide, splayed head, and a blind window above the central one. End wall stacks rise from a hipped roof. To the right is a lower wing, originally workshops or stables and now divided into separate houses. This wing has been altered, with cambered-headed 20th-century casements on both floors, and a single-storey 20th-century porch in the centre of the ground floor. The armoury was built in 1806 and designed by James Wyatt.
