A popular pub in the High Town area of Bridgnorth, it has two bars, one of which hosts live music every Friday and Sunday evening. The pub is one of three owned by Odley Inns Limited in Shropshire. It was at one time a coaching inn, but apparently in 1831 it was used as a wet-fish shop. The 1871 census shows a Talbott Inn (spelt with a double "t" at the end), in Salop Street, which presumably is this building. The innkeeper was a Richard Evans. Since this pub was previously photographed for GeoGraph, it has been repainted, at ground floor level, with the external woodwork green, instead of yellow. Image Image
