Last act of display

 Plaque at Severn Theatre
The large plaque by the main doors at the Severn Theatre in Shrewsbury is one of the last art commissions made by Shrewsbury & Atcham Borough Council. It wasn't long after this plaque went up that the council was dissolved - and the new Shrewsbury Town Council came into being.
(The loggerheads represent Shrewsbury, and the bridge represnts the village of Atcham).
