Historic architecture society delivering talk in campaign to save Shrewsbury's Shirehall

Shirehall has been described as 'The major monument to post-war modernism' in Shropshire.

Shrewsbury Civic Society will be hosting a talk on Shirehall

The society is campaigning to save Shirehall, which faces being sold off for development land under council plans. The council had been looking for temporary premises to leave Shirehall until the new site was built, but last summer confirmed it had abandoned those plans and would remain at the building until its fresh base was completed.

Ms Whittaker has been the Twentieth Century Society's caseworker on efforts to save Shirehall – which have included objecting to a 'Certificate of Immunity', which prevents the building being granted listed status – a designation which would have prevented its demolition.
