Excerpt from the Shropshire Star Newspaper;
"Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council (SABC). The council applied to the College of Arms for new arms and was given the rather clumsy arms with a depiction of Atcham Bridge.

Mr Holmes reminds us that the arms of the now-defunct SABC had the familiar three gold lions’ faces against a blue background, but then had a gold Atcham Bridge over-arching the three faces. “But we’re not done yet!” continues Mr Holmes.

The borough council then, rightly, issued an order that these arms were only to be used by the council itself as a body. Those who ignored this were prosecuted – Shrewsbury Rugby Club one of the first." For full report & Text Source; (visit link)
