History

The original facility on the site was Salop Infirmary completed in 1745.[1] The infirmary was completely rebuilt to a design by Edward Haycock, with occasional inspections by Sir Robert Smirke, in the Greek Revival style[2] in 1830.[1] An additional wing was completed in 1870 and it was renamed the Royal Salop Infirmary in 1914.[3] It joined the National Health Service in 1948.[3] After services transferred to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital in 1979, the Royal Salop Infirmary was acquired by a developer who converted it into a shopping centre in the early 1980s.[4]
