Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings

Built

Historic England Archive

The restoration of the world’s oldest iron-framed structure – the genesis of all modern steel-framed buildings.

A Grade I-listed Main Mill, the world’s first iron-framed building, and the adjoining Grade II-listed Kiln that were built in the 1790s and 1890s. These structures are part of a wider heritage site with six additional listed buildings. Subsequently, the project is no longer on the UK’s ‘Heritage at Risk Register’ and has created a mix of cultural and commercial spaces, preserving the site’s industrial legacy for future use.
