About

Whitchurch is a market town in northern Shropshire, positioned near the border with Cheshire and Wales. Its historical development is centred on the ancient Roman road of Watling Street. The town's layout is defined by its grid pattern of streets, which reflects its medieval planning. The local economy has traditionally been supported by agriculture and related industries in the surrounding rural landscape.

The area is known for its underground brine springs, which historically supported a significant cheese-making industry. Whitchurch's built environment includes a number of black-and-white timbered buildings and a parish church with a distinctive spire visible across the flat terrain. The canal network, including the Llangollen Branch, passes close to the town, contributing to its transport links and historical character.
