The pub-sign on the famous Loggerheads Inn in Shrewsbury was definitely in need of a spruce-up – and what better time to have it done than during the loggerheads’ 600th anniversary year?
But now, all is well, and the sign is back – all shiny and refreshed!
For those who don’t know, the pub goes back to the 17th century and was originally called The Shrewsbury Arms. However, as the arms of Shrewsbury are better known by their nickname “the loggerheads”, the regulars started to call it by that nickname – and the moniker stuck.
