Ditherington Flax Mill: Flax Warehouse, Shrewsbury - Shropshire (UA)

Built c.1810 as part of the mill's expansion; the cast iron frame represents the rapid development of the use of this material in the first decade of the C19. Outline planning approval was secured for the whole site in 2010, renewed 2020. Funding has been secured for the main spinning mill and the grade II listed malt kiln which adjoins this building. The warehouse will be repaired in a later phase.
