Historical and Descriptive Guide through Shrewsbury, by S. F. Williams 62276 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/2/7/62276 ] [Files: 62276-0.txt; 62276-h.htm] For those wishing to know: Samuel Williams was born and brought up in Shrewsbury and became a Unitarian minister and moved away to London. He was no doubt asked to write this book in 1881 when he was an important minister in Liverpool, so it's looking back to the Shrewsbury of his youth and the ages before that. It's not far from Liverpool to Shrewsbury so he no doubt revisited. All the best, David, Sunny England with pale blue skies

The Stranger in Shrewsbury, by Thomas Howell 62274 [Subtitle: or, an historic and descriptive view of Shrewsbury] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/2/7/62274 ] [Files: 62274-0.txt; 62274-h.htm] For those wishing to know: published in 1824 Howell's guide to his native town manages to pack in almost everything a tourist might want to know about and see in this glorious English town. Shrewsbury is very fortunate in that almost all of what he describes can still be seen today. All the best, David, Sunny England with clear blue skies
