Does anyone know the name of the black and white building in Frankwell which has the fire place shop underneath? I am looking for Worralls Mansion; or could it have been where Frankwell Island now is and was moved to the outdoor museum Bromsgrove I think. Any information would be appreciated
Thank you Mike. Have now found out that it is the black and white building in Frankwell, almost opposite the former Silverton.

Hello Sandra
The Avoncroft Museum web site includes the following information:
"The Tea Room is located in a lovely black and white timbered building with a colourful past. Originally based in Shrewsbury, it was built as a mansion in 1576 for a rich family, went on to become an inn called “The String of Horses” between 1828 and 1907 and then became the Shrewsbury Co-operative Society."
Whichever building you want it is unlikely that the name will appear on it and I can't find it on large scale maps but Shropshire Archives will almost certainly have maps of an even larger scale than those on the Internet so a visit there may help you.
Mike
