King's Head, Shrewsbury

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

King's Head Passage (left) and public house (right)

The King's Head is an old pub on Mardol in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England. It was previously known as the "Last Inn" as it was the final pub in town on this route out.

There is a passage that runs down the side of the pub, connecting Smithfield Road with Mardol. A defensive ditch can still be seen when walking down this passage, as the route of the passage has not altered and has not been improved for centuries. When the area floods (thanks to the nearby River Severn) the ditch fills in with water and can more clearly be seen.

Also nearby is Phoenix Place, Carnarvon Lane and Roushill - all part of the historical landscape of Shrewsbury.
