Oswestry

Oswestry is a market town and civil parish in the English county of Shropshire, alongside the Welsh border. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a population of around 17105, increasing by 10 per cent from the 2001 Census. As such, Oswestry is not just one of the UK's earliest border settlements but it is also the third largest town in Shropshire, coming after Telford and Shrewsbury. It is believed that one of the first settlements in the area of Oswestry dates back to 3000 years, supported by the proof enclosed in the outstandingly maintained Iron Age hill fort developed between 800 BC and AD 43. Advancement started to take place after the town was awarded approval to hold a market every Wednesday in 1190. As a result of the constant arrival of Welsh farmers at the market, a lot of the town's inhabitants were bilingual. The market continued till an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in the late 1960s, causing the animal market to be transferred from the town centre. A statue of a shepherd and sheep can now be found in the market square as a memorial to the market site's long history. Kinokulture, a movie theatre operating in a restored church, shows a frequent variety of films and live performances throughout the week and it also offers a Saturday morning Kids' Club. The town also has a national reputation for its high variety of pubs. There are almost 30 in the town, and most serve real ale. The town's Guildhall shows a tapestry of 40 Oswestry bar signs, and a story including all of the bars' names can be found inside The Oak Inn.
