Ditherington Flax Mill: Cross Building, Shrewsbury - Shropshire (UA)
Originally built in c.1799, the cross building was rebuilt in c.1812 after a fire. The cast iron frame represents the rapid development of the use of this material for fire-proofing in the first decade of the 19th century. Outline planning approval was secured for the whole site in 2010, renewed in 2020.. Funding has been secured for the repair of the spinning mill. This building will be repaired in a later phase of the works.
