Description

Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings (SFM) is a heritage site currently owned by Historic England and locally managed by the Friends of the Flaxmill Maltings who are a small volunteer organisation.
As the world's first Iron-Framed Building (dubbed grandfather of the skyscraper) Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings is one of the most important and extraordinary buildings in the world. It has played a central role in the life of Shrewsbury and the region of Shropshire for centuries. Historic England and partners, Shropshire Council and the Friends of the Flaxmill Maltings, have invested significant sums and resources to secure the site's long-term survival. The unique historic environment is now being prepared for a third century of use, at the heart of the community. This project intends to unlock the site's full potential to inspire all generations, and create a new living, learning and enterprise quarter for Shrewsbury. It is currently being restored and will be opened to the public in Spring 2022, with a visitor centre, café, commercial office space and events focused on education and engagement.
To prepare for site opening, we need a website for the public to learn about and engage with what's happening in the lead-up to opening. We plan to launch the website in October 2021.
The website will reflect the SFM branding. It also needs to reflect the prestige of the SFM physical site, as well as the investment that's being made to restore it to use. As such, it must be a high-quality, usable and accessible website that acts as a hub for all SFM-related information
