Meanwhile, business owners have said they are getting back to normal today after the disruption.
"Wyle Cop, and indeed the whole of the town centre, is very much open for business as usual, and we would urge people to come into Shrewsbury and support their local traders. Shrewsbury is a wonderful place to do your Christmas shopping, and it's great to see the town centre bustling at this time of year."
"There doesn't appear to be an alteration in traffic today, so it hasn't scared anybody off. There's a noticeable police presence, but other than that it's business as usual."
