Strongers . left this review about The William Jessop

No longer a Wetherspoons, the William Jessop is a large L-shaped pub with seating across the front and up the left to a popular dartboard at the rear. There’s also a stage on the left wall that hosts the advertised weekly fast quiz, karaoke and live music. Televisions throughout were airing Olympic coverage via BBC, live satellite sports are also shown. Standard and premium keg was available and I didn’t spot any hand pumps. This is the sort of pub I’d expect to find on a high street in a busy town.

Aqualung . left this review about The Thomas Telford (JD Wetherspoon)

The Thomas Telford is set on the ground floor of a hideous post war shopping block. There's a prominent sign outside showing that the freehold is up for sale.
Inside it's not too bad and I didn't find it edgy in here but more the town in general. It consists of a rectangular room with the bar at the back and an unused looking dart board on the left. Furnishings were fairly typical. The whole pub seemed to be drinking rather than eating despite the fact that a large mixed grill here is just £8.60 or a chicken triple feast £6.80.
The beer selection over the ten hand pumps was poor with Ruddles & Doom Bore doubled, Peerless Red Wheat tripled and a couple of International beers of which one was doubled. I went for the Peerless Red Wheat (£2.05) which was in good enough nick.
It's not a great Spoons but it's not the best town I've visited either. The other JDW is not close by but in Overpool the next station along.
