Shrewsbury Market

Shrewsbury Market

In line with our recent policy of combining literature with fruit and veg, Wednesdays from 17 September, Bob Fowke will be in attendance at the Pengwern Bookshop in Shrewsbury’s indoor market. Pengwern is an independent bookshop, Pengwern being the Brythonic name for a Romano-Caltic settlement somewhere on the site of central Shrewsbury and possibly a haunt of King Arthur. It probably meant ‘the hill of alders’. The name has nothing in particular to do with Penguin Books, although Susan Caroline, the proprietor, does sell some of them.

Do drop by, Bob will be happy to discuss your project.
