Shropshire

The Henry Tudor Inn in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, is one of the oldest pubs in England.

The building is said to have hosted Henry Tudor (the future Henry VII) during the Bosworth campaign against Richard III in 1485.

Built for the local MP, Hugh Wygan, in the 15th century, tree-ring dating shows that the oldest part is the rear wing, dated to 1426, with the front dated from 1430 to 1431.

The original building included shops, a brewhouse, taproom and accommodation which attracted guests entering the town from the east over the English Bridge.

I want season 3 to be two separate plots, one is the crew having their action adventure, and the other is just stede and ed figuring out how to run the inn sitcom style (bc jenkins said they would be horrible at it). The plots are completely unrelated until the very end when the bad guy ends up staying at the inn and the crew tracks him down and they all work together to take out the bad guy

Mary shook her head. ‘I’ve only seen the evil,’ she said; ‘I’ve only seen the suffering there’s been,  and the cruelty, and the pain. When my uncle came to Jamaica Inn he must have cast his shadow over the good things, and they died.’

Save the Elm Tree Inn!

The Elm Tree Inn has been the heart of the village of Langton Herring for over 300 years. Regrettably, in December 2023 the Inn finally closed its doors and our community lost its social cohesion as well as all of the rich history that we associate with this rural Inn

Thus a Steering Committee was established, community support was sought and the challenge to raise the necessary funds to purchase the Elm Tree Inn began. We have been supported in this quest by the Plunkett Foundation and are grateful for all of their advice and support. We have until March 2025 to raise the £650,000 we need to reopen our Inn, and although we have seen magnificent financial support to date we still need your help to secure the purchase of the Elm Tree Inn and so guarantee a wonderful place to meet friends, to drink and eat together and create even more history in West Dorset.

this is a long post but i have to make this rant bc i've been drawing/writing some scenes from sharpe's justice and like. the bedroom sharpe's staying in at the inn is so confusing to me in the layout. like. this is what i've managed to piece together (and is by NO MEANS 100% accurate, just a general layout i drew from what we could see.) the biggest question is WHAT is that second doorway for, and what would fill the question marks in the middle of the room, besides the cameras?

the first scene we see of the bedroom, he's going up the stairs, and enters the room to see lady anne. he enters through the door, then crosses through another door

you can still see the doorway he entered through behind his hand- he's looking diagonally towards lady anne, who is by the fireplace. anne and the camera move to circle around the left hand of the room to meet him at the "doorway".

the room is so damn dark its hard to tell whats in the lower left hand corner. adjusting the levels theres something almost rectangular in shape- a big armoire? a partition? a doorway in the bg? i'm leaning towards partition (they might've wanted to block anything that might've been modern in the room behind it, or maybe its a bathroom?).

it also looks like she's passing by curtains, so I assume it's the bed curtains she's walking by. she keeps moving, the scene is too dark, before she meets sharpe in the doorway.

there's this wooden thing behind them that i have no idea what it would be. there is very clearly space between this wooden thing and the doorway- look at all the darkness around it.

in a different scene during the day, we see Sharpe at Big Window 2, next to his shaving station. Harper enters the room through the main door, and meets him at Big Window 1. there is clearly no wall between the windows.

the last scene we get is sharpe at Big Window 2, washing his face at his shaving station. Anne enters from the doorway and crosses to meet him towards the middle of the room. (the wall with the fireplace confused me for the longest time bc the lighting was so flat and strange- turns out the fireplace juts out from the wall- we see the little dresser, and the side with the partition is also darker than the fireplace side).

(the lighting for the fireplace is more clear here).

Obviously we almost never see what's in the middle of the room because that's where the cameras are set up- what's killing me is why there's a second doorway, when as as far as i can tell, there's no real split of the room. we can clearly see the wood paneling in the shot where anne and sharpe are touching hands, and there's enough darkness to indicate whatever the wood thing is behind anne isn't connected to it, there's space between it and the door or w/e it is.

actually now that i'm sitting here looking at this. is this a gigantic doorway? how would the camera get this angle if it was an actual doorway? i feel like a door right here doesn't make sense bc the rest of the room isnt closed off, as we can see in the scene with harper- you can easily go between the windows with no walls there. the cameras obvs are set up where the question marks are...

this literally isn't important at all but WHAT the hell is going on in that corner by the doorway!! what is that thang if its not a doorway? look at how thin it is!
