Pronunciation of Shrewsbury

According to an article on BBC's website:
Is it Shrewsbury or Shrowsbury?
The traditional pronunciation of the 'ew' in Shrewsbury only survives in the
word 'sew', and in earlier days the town's name was spelled Shroesbury or
Shrowesbury, with the 'ow' pronounced as it is in 'show'. But you'll even hear
the locals pronouncing it both ways, so in a way, everyone's right.
