-shur, unless I'm putting on a posh accent.
I think the pronunciation of the vowel sound in that sort of case is largely dependent on the inflection, and I can't think of a shire county that puts stress on the last syllable, with the possible exception of Kirkcudbrightshire in Scotland, but I don't think that legally exists anymore.
