Notes: 

The Shropshire Flag is a community flag proclaiming the unique identity of this historic English county.

The flag is Shropshire County Council’s banner of arms (1895), which features three leopard faces.

These ‘loggerheads’ in local dialect form the traditional emblem of the county.

They derive in turn from the 15h-century arms and seal of Shrewsbury, Shropshire’s county town, which display three lion’s heads.
