Interesting part of the country. I rather like it. There’s plenty to do. I always think of battle between Henry 4th and Harry Hotspur (Henry Percy) in the early 15c (1403). Henry 4th won and it was the only Shakespeare book I ever read that was tolerable. | | | |

Not surprising that Harry Hotspur never won anything - should he have gone to a more successful club? | |

Shroosbury or Shrowsbury? on 10:11 - Mar 22 with 626 views | Alberto_the_frog | In Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, you can tell it was pronounced Shrow then by what he rhymes it with. Vowels change with time, but I dislike change so still pronounce it Shrowsbury - and Launceston as Larnceston. | | | |
