A Grade II listed building in Low Town dating from the 18th century, with an earlier refaced part to the rear. Located on the corner of Mill Street and Doctor's Lane, it has been a public house since 1790, when it was first licensed. It was originally known as the Whitmore Arms. This used to be a Banks's house. Next door, at No. 55, is Kum Tong, a Chinese takeaway. Image

Originally named the Whitmore Arms, presumably after the powerful local family of that name, who lived at nearby Apley Park and supplied many of Bridgnorth's Members of Parliament in times past. In 1867 Apley Park was sold to William Orme Foster, an ironmaster. His son William Henry Foster became the local Member of Parliament in 1870 and held the seat until it was abolished in 1885. The change of ownership of Apley Park and of M.P. no doubt prompted the pub to change its name. Image

One of the leading hotels in the Low Town area of Bridgnorth, it came under new management in October 2012. Following this all the rooms were refurbished and the top floor was rebuilt. This photograph dates from before these changes. The building is Grade II listed and parts date from the early 19th century, with the inner core of the building thought to date from the 17th century. It is known to have belonged to a John Singe in 1672. It was first licensed in 1820 and in 1851 it was recorded as being a Commercial and Posting House. Photographed from Mill Street.
