Made up of eight listed buildings, Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings has been transformed by Historic England into a multi-use space.
Known as ‘the grandparent of skyscrapers’, the main mill opened in 1797 as a purpose-built flax mill. Since then, the site has grown and been repurposed - as maltings from 1897 to 1987, and as a temporary army barracks during the Second World War.
On-site exhibition The Mill explores the stories of the people connected to the building; from those who built it and who worked there across nearly two centuries, to the people who saved it.
Other attractions at the venue include a shop and café.
Behind-the-scenes guided tours are also available to enjoy.
