Hi everyone, i am trying to find out any information on the Column House Private Hotel, (that used to be).
I know that i used to be or stand on Wenlock Road, Shrewsbury.
I also know that the proprietress was Mrs A Carter, (My great grandmother)
Any more info pics or knowledge about this place, my great grandmother or any of the Carter family is very much apprieciated

hello
I think that the building is still there and now used by the council.

s.g.d.

i was told it was knocked down and became the column roundabout :huh:

hello again

I am not 100% sure of this but I thought that Column House was on London Road
and the old White Horse was on the Wenlock Road.the White Horse was cleared for the island and the name moved to the present building.

the building, that I thought it was, is up for sale so if you happen to have a million pounds....

I am keen to see if we had the right building.

s.g.d.

it would appear that you were told correctly that the Column Hotel was knocked down to make way for the roundabout.
the hotel was the second "Column House", which has caused the confusion.

it was probably demolished in the 1970's.

sorry for the confusion
