Earlier this year, Joules Brewery in Market Drayton was given permission to transform The Stags Head, a pub next door to their flagship brewery. 

The plans involved a complete refurbishment and a new two-storey building for private bookings, live music, civic occasions and town events. 

The company hoped £1m plans would "transform" the market town and boost visitor numbers.

Part of the new building has been offered up to the town's civic society for the relocation of the museum it owns and runs, currently based on Shropshire Street.
