Certainly operating as a public house in 2010 Image but now apparently a private house, and much altered externally at least. It dates in its current form to the mid 18th century, but is thought to cover an earlier core. Quite how they've been permitted to remove the imitation/painted timber-framing on the brickwork isn't clear, as the whole place was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101246400-the-old-bush-inn-shrewsbury#.XWKWTOhKjcs & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1246400 in 1953, and as that forms part of the listing, it's normally 'sacrosanct'.
