Location
Wyle Cop is the principle vehicular route into the town centre when approaching from the east and English Bridge. There is the town’s main NCP car park at the foot of Wyle cop which means there is significant footfall up Wyle Cop which uses the pedestrian crossing opposite the subject property.

The property occupies a prominent position opposite the traffic lights at the intersection of Wyle Cop and Dogpole. Both streets form an integral part of the town centre’s one way traffic system thus benefitting from visibility of passing traffic.Furthermore, on Saturdays, the High Street and part of Wyle Cop become pedestrianised drawing additional footfall. Shrewsbury has a resident urban population of approximately 80,000 people with a County-wide population in excess of 325,000.
