Shrewsbury Park was the site of an array of anti-aircraft guns during the Second World War. It was a last line of defence from a German land invasion that was assumed would follow Watling Street from Dover. Adjacent to an anti-aercraft battery was built a prisoner-of-war camp on what is today part of a golf course.
