There are plenty of pubs which present themselves as open, light, expansive and a bit different, but there's one in Shrewsbury on the edge of the River Severn which has the look and feeling of something different.
The Armoury is a building with history, having been built in the late 18th century as an armoury, albeit in a different location on the Armoury Gardens.
It was moved, brick by brick to its current location in 1922 as building materials had become harder to come by following the First World War and then served several purposes, including being a bakery and housing Belgian refugees.
Its current existence as a pub began in 1996 when the owners Brunning and Price brought the building and did the renovation work necessary to turn it into a pub.
Since then, in what has become the entertainment quarter of the town, the pub has become a popular venue for both people wanting a gastronomic experience and those looking for a refreshing cold drink.
Current manager Tom Scone has been part of the set-up at the pub for around nine years, having been introduced to it by a friend whose father worked for Brunning and Price and said that both the company and the pub had made him want to stay.
