Pub submits museum plans

A pub in Market Drayton has submitted plans to become a museum and events venue.

Joule's Brewery, which owns The Stags Head in Great Hales Street, has submitted proposals to Shropshire County Council to extend the space as part of a £1m expansion of its brewery premises.

The new museum space would contain an exhibition about the history of the town and be operated by Drayton Civic Society, replacing the group's existing premises on Shropshire Street.
