About the Development
As Shropshire Brewers based in Market Drayton, we have Taphouses across Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Cheshire. All Joule’s beers are all proudly brewed with Shropshire mineral water, which is drawn from a Shropshire aquifer and naturally filtered through sandstone and bunter pebbles.
It will be a big scheme here to evolve the pub and bring back some of the beautiful features that in time have been hidden. We have enjoyed getting to know the pub over the past few months, it has sparked some exciting design concepts that we will look to include in the development.
Just like with our previous projects, we recognize the importance of preserving the history and unique features that make each pub special, we are delighted with how we achieved this at the Henry Tudor Inn on Wyle Cop in Shrewsbury, Shropshire’s only Grade1 Listed pub.
We’ll be enhancing an already charming and characterful pub which will twinkle and sparkle, the pub will be steeped in eclectic, well thought out design concepts and history, bringing Joule’s brand and portfolio to the Jewellery Quarter.
