Abstract: |
This document is an archaeological standing building survey of the former Canal Tavern, New Park Road, Shrewsbury (NGR SJ 49680 13243), commissioned from Archaeological Building Recording Services (ABRS) by Bleazard and Galletta LLP in advance of the proposed part demolition and change of use to residential use. The Canal Tavern is a known heritage asset and a listed building. The building is a good example of an early 19th century purpose built public house. The tavern has undergone significant alterations and modernisation leaving little of historic or architectural significance beyond the historic plan form. The tavern has an interesting and well documented history, unfortunately its earliest history is a little vague. It is possible that the tavern was constructed by the canal company during the construction of the adjacent Shrewsbury Canal. The tavern, interestingly retains its ancillary buildings largely in their original and unaltered condition, including a stable, lead to extension, which operated as a separate tripe shop in the late 19th century and an early 20th century WC in the rear yard. The archive will be retained by ABRS under the site code 2018-CTSS until deposition with Shropshire Museums can be arranged. |
