Calling any gransnetters living in and around Shrewsbury, Shropshire.
I shall at some point in the next few months be moving back to Shrewsbury. I am interested in
finding out if there are any GN ladies in the area who would like to meet up. Looking forward to hearing from you. smile

Aldom I think the o sound in Shrewsbury comes from a much earlier spelling with an oe as in Shroewsbury. The oe was joined together. It’s a about an hour from where I live but it’s a lovely town and I visit quite often.
