Description
Site owner Historic England has fully committed to this multimillion pound project bringing the internationally significant and iconic Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings back to life. As the first cast iron framed building in the world, it has been described by Sir Peter Luff, Former Chairman of the National Lottery Heritage Fund as the most important building of the modern age'.
The site first functioned as a mill, producing linen thread from flax. After 90 years, the flax industry declined and the site was converted into a maltings, producing malt for the brewing industry for another 90 years. The site fell into disrepair after the maltings closed in 1987 but is now being prepared for its third century of use.
The restoration of the 1797 Grade I Listed Main Mill and 1898 Grade II Listed Kiln will create a visitor destination and learning centre and café facility on the ground floor with the upper 4 floors being converted to create modern commercial office space.
The offices are to retain a number of period features reflecting the building's industrial heritage, whilst providing a modern working environment for the 21st Century.
The accommodation has been restored with sustainability at the forefront and includes features such as natural ventilation, a low carbon energy heat source and excellent natural lighting.
Access to the offices will be afforded via personnel lift access from the impressive fully refurbished original Kiln area which serves as the main entrance.
The offices are laid out to provide suites ranging in size from 6,243 sqft (579 sqm) to 18,793 sqft (1,746 sqm) to suit occupiers' individual requirements.
The line of the former canal to the front of the building is to be landscaped and there are also plans to develop the land beyond for a new housing scheme inkeeping with the immediate surrounds. The site will provide onsite car parking with electric charging points, cycle storage and shower facilities to encourage active travel/living.
