The Mill at Leighton, situated between Ironbridge and Shrewsbury on the B4380, dates back almost 1,000 years.

But in 2020, the pub closed. Not wanting to see it gone forever, the community of Leighton stepped up.

The Mill at Leighton is in the Good Beer Guide 2025 book which is part of CAMRA. Great achievement for them. In Picture: General Manager Gareth Penny with staff and Partners/Co Owners..

In March 2021 the keys were handed over, making the pub a literal community asset after regulars took on the lease as a local community venture. After a two-month refurbishment it was reopened in May.
