Welcome to our tour of Shrewsbury Library with one of Shrewsbury's most beloved tour guides, Stan Sedman.
Starting at the front of the Library, Stan starts us off with explaining that this building was once actually the site of Shrewsbury School, where Charles Darwin attended when he was a child.
Eventually Stan moves inside the library and takes us upstairs. You can find the staircase to the old school rooms on the right-hand side of the library as you walk in. The staff there are friendly and will help you if you need a hand.
Stan is the master at these tours and he hits you with facts hard. However, my advice is to take your time with this one. Pause occasionally, take a close look at the graffiti engraved into the wood up in the classroom and take a look at the views of Shrewsbury Castle, a view that has remained largely unchanged for generations.
