The scheme, for Shropshire council and designed by architect Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, will restore the historic mill buildings, which include the world’s first iron-framed building, in order to reopen them as an education and tourist attraction. The development will also include space for business and commercial use.

The council has submitted a bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund for £12.8m to enable it to go ahead with the scheme.
