This was my fifth pub of a crawl of Shrewsbury, and my notes were becoming somewhat sketchy. Just 17 words, in fact, three of which were "nice". I did note that there was a smell of cooking fat or fried food, but whereas this would normally get my back up, on this occasion the pub was "otherwise very nice" and so was my half of Box Steam Ghost Train. Looking at my photo of the four pump clips, I reckon that's a pretty good line up, though looking at the pump clips on the shelves in the background it could have been so different!

Long thin place, oddly its got a vaguely modern or vaguely 1980s interior but there are a few obvious signs of greater age. Four pulls of fairly mundane beers, Pride, Wainwright and Bass, plus a local from Salopian. Whatever, as the beer was a bit average.

A really friendly pub on the Frankwell strip. As noted its more or less 2 roomed. Ales today were the same as noted below. A few Bristol Rovers fans were in today who were a friendly bunch. Apparently has new owners.
