Shrewsbury for a day, a night, and a day

From Edinburgh we stopped over in Shrewsbury for a night. If you make it to Shrewsbury, I recommend the Shalimar for a wonderful Indian meal; the food is excellent, the staff is wonderful and, if you get there early, you can sit next to the window with a pretty sweet view of the Abbey just across the street. We also wandered through a church that had the monument for the soldiers of the 85th King’s Light Infantry who died in Afghanistan between 1879-80. This is somewhat interesting because it was the 85th infantry from Shrewsbury that burned the White House down during the War of 1812. On the outside of the church was also a little monument to the CADMAN. I’m not sure which stream he’s ‘flying’ to or what kind of shape he was in, but either way, no one on this planet was going to make that jump.
