Yes, if you do get the chance to visit the town centre, I'd certainly recommend it. It's an interesting place to have a day out in, really good night out as well as it goes. I should add that I'm flattered you sought my opinion on this no doubt important matter, however I get the sense that @Seat68 is probably a truer "Shropshire lad" than me!

Seat68 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 When i was a kid a teacher used to have on his wall a poster saying the emblem of Shrewsbury is a shrew not a shrow. That stayed with me, i flinch a little every time a train announcement says shrowsbury. Personally for me its shrewsbury, i support the mighty shrews and it will always be shrewsbury but a lot of the older natives call it salop anyway.

That's interesting, if I was asked what the emblem of Shrewsbury was I'd say it was the loggerheads, rather than an actual shrew. I know I previously said they had a shrew as a club badge for a while, but I had the impression the club's fans and residents generally preferred the three leopards heads (or whatever they may be).

Isn't Salop the alternative name for Shropshire, rather than Shrewsbury? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, without mooneying it, I seem to recall there was a push decades back to rename shropshire salop, I recall as a child writing my address and having salop as my county, you will find a lot of people refer to shrewsbury as salop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I've always pronounced it Shi-tole. Steady on, you'd be slapped with a bunch of asparagus for less. It's 'Eve-sham' to locals. I'll bare knuckle box anyone who says otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
