Shrewsbury mill makes ready for demolition.
Former workers are being invited to the site of the world’s first iron-framed building before demolition work starts.
Ditherington Flax Mill in Shrewsbury is undergoing a three-year regeneration after securing £12.8m from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The project will adapt a number of listed buildings, including the 1797 mill, a kiln, an office and stables, which will become offices.
People will tour the South Silo before it is knocked down next month.
After the mill closed down in 1886 the site was turned into a maltings for the brewery industry, until its closure in 1987.
