Writing September writing theme is locally inspired:
There used to be 22 pubs on the Cartway; the main link between High Town and the Quayside in the days when Bridgnorth was an important port on the River Severn. They served the needs of the traders, sailors and river folk.
Write a story or poem inspired by one or more of their names:
The Red Lion
The Kouli Khan
The Woolpack
The Beehive
The White Hart
The Ship and Anchor
The Coopers Arm
The Saltbox
The Forge and Hammer
The Tumbling Sailors
The Star
The Mermaid
The Britannia
The Severn Trow
The Compasses
The Bush
The Railway Tavern
The Saltbox
The Cornucopia (or Horn of Plenty)
The Horn and Trumpet (later The French Horn)
The Magpie (now Bassa Villa)
The Black Boy (or The Blackie Boy – the last of the 22 pubs to survive

It's so strange to think that there used to be so many pubs in Cartway; the place must've been thriving! I can't imagine it. My favourite of all those names has to be the Tumbling Sailors -- charming!
