I was born there and I think it's Shr-oos-bury, but I'm not sure.

I have a pal who moved there
He says 'Shroosebury', but I always thought is was Shrosebury.

Oh hang on... is there actually a posh end of town?

when I was a kid the locals said it was about which side of the river you grew up on.
I've always pronounced it Shrosebury if that helps.
