About

The Greenfields area lies directly south of Shrewsbury town centre, bordered by the River Severn to the east and the railway line to the west. It is primarily residential, characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with some post-war developments. The area functions as a quiet neighbourhood for town centre workers, containing local shops, schools, and several small parks. Its proximity to the river provides access to walking paths along the water, though it remains a distinctly urban district.

A notable local landmark is the Dingle, a sunken Victorian garden and wooded area created from a former quarry. This secluded public space, with its winding paths and mature trees, offers a distinct contrast to the surrounding streets. The area's layout reflects its historical development from fields to housing, with some roads following older field boundaries. Community life centres on local facilities, including the Greenfields Community Centre.
