The three gold lions' faces on blue, are from the arms of the former Borough of Shrewsbury, which were first recorded 1623. They are thought to be derived from the Royal Lions in a 13th Century seal, and the colours are those of Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury. To these is added a reprsentation of Atcham Bridge, the emblem of the former Atcham RDC. |
