It had been hoped to have a Loggerheads 600th exhibition this year to mark the emblem's anniversary. It would have been a 'people's exhibition' in that, alongside the historic artefacts, there would have been items temporarily loaned by local people. However, it was not be.
Many local people's loans would presumably have been one such as this souvenir spoon, now quite rare, which would have been sold as a takeaway item at Shrewsbury Castle. The enthusiast who now has it says that loggerheads-collecting is his passion, and he has many more items.
