Take a tour of Shrewsbury's skyline with roof top tours at Market Hall
Visitors will be able to see Shrewsbury from a different angle with roof top tours at the Market Hall as part of national heritage open days.
Town guide and local historian Stan Sedman will lead a series of tours at the 1960s Shrewsbury Market Hall on Saturday September 14.
Tours will take place at 10am, 11am, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm. Spaces are limited to 10 people per tour.
“The tours are very popular. The Market Hall is a building in the town that people pass every day and think ‘I’d like to go up there and see what I can see from the top,” said Mr Sedman.
“Some people enjoy taking photographs, others simply like to take in the scenery. On a clear day you can see for miles around with views over the town and towards Grinshill.
“Some people love the chimneys, some people like to see the rooftops of the historic buildings, some people like to see things they didn’t even know existed."
Market Hall facilities manager Kate Gittins said: “We’re delighted to put on these popular tours again, this time as part of Heritage Open Days. Stan’s knowledge of Shrewsbury and its history really brings the town alive from up there.”

Children under 12 are not permitted due to health and safety considerations. Sensible footwear is essential. Tours meet on the Gallery Level by the Reviive piano, at the Bellstone end of the Market Hall.
