Welcome to 2009

 

Welcome To Shrewsbury sign

This sign on the Frankwell roundabout reading Welcome To Shrewsbury naturally incorporates the town's official logo.  Curiously, it is a little out of date, as the logo seen here is that of Shrewsbury & Atcham Council which was abolished in 2009.  A new council - Shrewsbury Town Council - arose out of the ashes, and adopted a slightly different logo.
