This postcard is on sale widely in Shrewsbury. It displays a list of the curious & particular words, places, people and aspects which are essential - and even unique - to the town, But do you see what important and historic characteristic is missing? Yes..., there is no reference to the loggerheads. It's bewildering.
In the last post we wondered (sadly) if the people simply no longer understood the role the loggerheads have played and do play in the town’s life.
However ... the good news for loggerheads-lovers is that a new book, marking the 600 years since they appeared in history, comes out next month. Entitled 'The Mysteries of The Loggerheads', it will explain much and reveal even more. It may even help townsfolk remember how central to Shrewsbury town the loggerheads are! Look out for our next post for details.
