About Ditherington Flax Mill

Industrial Facilities, Factories, Interesting Places

Ditherington Flax Mill (promoted as the Flaxmill Maltings), a flax mill located in Ditherington, a suburb of Shrewsbury, England, is the first iron-framed building in the world. As such, it is seen as the world's first skyscraper, described as "the grandfather of skyscrapers", despite being only as tall as a modern five-storey building. Its importance was officially recognised in the 1950s, resulting in it becoming a Grade I listed building. It is also locally known as the "Maltings" from its later use.

It is derelict, and is in the hands of Historic England. Plans to transform the site into offices and shops were given approval in October 2010.
