Shrewsbury: Pride Hill and Market Square

After the chocolate festival, we headed to an area called Pride Hill which is full of modern day shops and even houses a mall entrance.  The best part of the area for us were the street performers and an amazing balloon artist.

At the base of the hill is Old Market Hall.  The beautiful building behind Sierra was built in the 1200's and used to house the town's magistrate.  During World War II, it served as an air shelter. The day we were there they had a farmer's market with tons of delicious organic fruits, vegetables, and desserts.
