Guest,

You're right of course. In fact for a long time we all thought the pub WAS in Shropshire.
This includes Bob Webb, who has played there in various guises since the place opened.
When I came to look up the pub's address to send them some posters, it turned out to have a CREWE postcode. Which is just plain barmy. It's miles away from that esteemed railway town.
However, the Fox and Hounds IS in deepest Cheshire, being just a few miles away from the famed oak tree in Bostock which is supposed to represent the very centre of our lovely county.
Really, we were just working on the 'one size fits all' principle.
Sorry about the capitals. I'm not shouting, just can't do italics.
