Mardol (street)
Mardol is an historic street in Shrewsbury, Shropshire with a variety of architectural styles, ranging from Tudor timber-framed buildings to more modern constructs. It runs from the Welsh Bridge up to the town centre.
Shuts and passages leading from the street include the King's Head Passage, Phoenix Place, Mardol Gardens, Carnarvon Lane, Hill's Lane and Roushill Bank.
At the top of Mardol now stands a new modern monument, Darwin's Gate.
The origin of the name of the street is not clear. One possibility is "the mard wall", or boundary wall, another is "the Devil's End".[1]
