The Star Hotel was demolished after a fire in 1911.

The Eight Bells or Ring of Bells was occupied in 1911 by the Pitchford family, descendants of the nobility who took their name from the area of Pitchford in Shropshire.
Herbert James Pitchford ran the Eight Bells among other public houses.
He served in the King's Shropshire Light Infantry, and died in Flanders in the First World War.
His name appears on the Menin Gate in Belgium and on the war memorial in St Andrew's Church, Shifnal, near the Eight Bells public house.
Today the building is occupied by the Oddfellows Wine Bar.

Hinckesman's Brewery Co was established at Hinnington spring – just south of the town – in 1897, and changed its name to the Shifnal Brewery Company in 1899.
After closing in 1910 the name was revived in 1927 before being acquired by Broadway Brewery (Shifnal) in 1934.
In turn this was acquired by Banks's in Wolverhampton in 1960.

The railway bridge over Market Place was rebuilt in 1953: the open spandrels of the original arch were replaced with a plain lined flat panel construction.

The town expanded further during the 1960s.
In 2015 it was revealed that planning permission had been granted for a total of 1,167 homes across the town, meaning its population was expected to grow by 50 per cent by 2020.

The town's branch of Barclays Bank was targeted by robbers on 6 May 1991.
They drilled into the strongroom and escaped with £50,000.
The same bank was subject to armed robberies in March 2013 and March 2017.
Its closure was announced a few weeks after the latter, leaving Shifnal without a bank for the first time since 1824.

In 2009 one of the town's biggest employers, Wrekin Construction, went into administration with the loss of 420 jobs in Shropshire, Yorkshire, Northamptonshire and Cheshire and more than £45m to creditors.
Among the business's assets was the Gem of Tanzania, valued on the business's balance sheets at £11m.
However it emerged that the 2 kg uncut stone's value had been forged and it was eventually sold for just £8,000.
