SJ4912 : 10 & 11 Pride Hill, Shrewsbury

taken 2 years ago, near to Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England

10 & 11 Pride Hill, Shrewsbury
10 & 11 Pride Hill, Shrewsbury
Originally built as shops and dwellings, most probably in the early 18th century, although the current shop fronts are rather more modern than that. The rear wall of both buildings, and the cellars of no 11 on the right, incorporate the remains and cellars of a much older structure, thought to be 14th century. I didn't ask to have a look at these, but they may be contemporaneous with, and similar in structure to SJ4912 : Remains of Bennett's Hall on Pride Hill which lies at the back of a restaurant a few doors down the street. Nos 10 & 11 were Grade II listed LinkExternal link & LinkExternal link in 1972.
Listed Buildings and Structures

Listed buildings and structures are officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance. There are over half a million listed structures in the United Kingdom, covered by around 375,000 listings.
Listed status is more commonly associated with buildings or groups of buildings, however it can cover many other structures, including bridges, headstones, steps, ponds, monuments, walls, phone boxes, wrecks, parks, and heritage sites, and in more recent times a road crossing (Abbey Road) and graffiti art (Banksy 'Spy-booth') have been included.

In England and Wales there are three main listing designations;
Grade I (2.5%) - exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important.
Grade II* (5.5%) - particularly important buildings of more than special interest.
Grade II (92%) - nationally important and of special interest.

There are also locally listed structures (at the discretion of local authorities) using A, B and C designations.

In Scotland three classifications are also used but the criteria are different. There are around 47,500 Listed buildings.
Category A (8%)- generally equivalent to Grade I and II* in England and Wales
Category B (51%)- this appears generally to cover the ground of Grade II, recognising national importance.
Category C (41%)- buildings of local importance, probably with some overlap with English Grade II.

In Northern Ireland the criteria are similar to Scotland, but the classifications are:
Grade A (2.3%)
Grade B+ (4.7%)
Grade B (93%)
