I've been brought up with the idea that Alcester (as in Alcester Road) was pronounced ALL-SES-TER. Having read "Streets of Brum", it appears only us Brummies use this pronounciation, and then, just those from the Digbeth area I've never lived near the centre of Brum and neither have my parents. The "official" pronounciation sounds too much like Ulster when heard on the news. Same I suppose with Shrewsbury - but that is blamed on old spellings, plus whether you're Welsh or English.
