King's Head - Shrewsbury, Shropshire, UK - Pictorial Pub Signs on Waymarking.com

The King pictured on the pictorial pub sign (Henry VII) stayed in Shrewsbury on his way to the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
Henry a Welshman, was the last king to win the throne of England in a Battle.

"With its double jettied frontage, the timber framed 15th century Kings Head must be one of the town's most striking pub exteriors. Not only that, a refurbishment in 1987 revealed a pre-Reformation painting of the Last Supper on an old chimney breast. It now takes pride of place in the pub together with a plaque describing its history.

A recent refurbishment has led to the re-introduction of small partitions, which has restored the feeling of a traditional old pub while still looking smart. The low beams and comfortable bench seating make it a pleasant place to linger for a while." Text Source; (visit link) & (visit link)
