As a native it’s Shrewsbury (Shroosbury).
Although, typically the posh people in the town and the bbc call it Shrowsbury! |  |

Shrew except for the posh school. |  | | |

The call themselves 'The Shrews', so ...
One very hot summer, a shrew used to come into inner room in my old stone farmhouse where it was nice & cool, & sit under my chair while I was on my computer. |  |

Interesting part of the country. I rather like it. There’s plenty to do. I always think of battle between Henry 4th and Harry Hotspur (Henry Percy) in the early 15c (1403). Henry 4th won and it was the only Shakespeare book I ever read that was tolerable. |  | | |

Not surprising that Harry Hotspur never won anything - should he have gone to a more successful club? | |

In Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, you can tell it was pronounced Shrow then by what he rhymes it with. Vowels change with time, but I dislike change so still pronounce it Shrowsbury - and Launceston as Larnceston. |  | | |

Locally speaking, neither are correct.
Dialect pronunciation is Shoozbree. |  | | |
