Abstract:		 Nineteen samples were taken from eighteen timbers from 2 Milk Street, Shrewsbury (SJ 492124). Eight of the timbers sampled were from the earliest phase, Building B, which was a jettied timber-framed bay to the rear. Six samples from this range dated, three with precise felling dates of spring AD 1467. Eight timbers were also sampled from Building A to the front, and six dated, one of which provided a precise felling date of spring AD 1566. Finally, two samples were taken from a phase of roof reconstruction, one of which dated with a precise felling date of spring AD 1655. Two site master chronologies were produced: MILKST1 for Building B is of 114 rings spanning the years AD 1353-1466, and MILKST2 for Building A is of 174 rings spanning the years AD 1392-1565. A single sample ms19 related to the roof reconstruction and had 126 rings spanning AD 1529-1654. The dendrochronology was unable to prove whether the shopfront was coeval with the rest of Building B, but this may be discernable from the building archaeology. However, the dating did show that the roof was reconstructed re-using many of the elements from the old roof, such as principal rafters, V-struts, purlins, and rafters.
