A "Wall Dial" on the gable end of Shrewsbury's Old Market Hall.

Interestingly this Vertical Wall mounted dial plate only shows the hours 9 to 5, and is only useful when it gets some sun in the summer months.

The Market Hall was built in 1596 by the Corporation of Shrewsbury and is one of Shrewsbury's finest buildings. It reflects the town's prosperity towards the end of the 16th Century and especially its emergence as a major regional centre for trading.
