I was in your neck of woods last week.. Visited Whitchurch (sadly ghost town with half of shops closed despite it was in afternoon) and Shrewsbury where I drank in two pubs.. The Shrewsbury Hotel (JDW) and The Hole in the Wall. Then went through Telford via motorway, was supposed to stop off and having a look around in Telford but we simply don't have time due my sister had to return car to her boyfriend.
