The former Apprentice House at the Flax Mill
The Apprentice House as yet has seen little restoration work, although the main site was busy with tradesmen on the day of this visit. It was built around 1811/12 as accommodation for apprentices (mostly poor, orphaned or illegitimate children from the north of England, to be honest) at the flax mill, and received a Grade II* listing https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101254855-ditherington-flax-mill-apprentice-house-shrewsbury#.WzCOuKdKhPY in 1987. The windows are boarded to prevent further damage & vandalism, and many of the door pediments have been removed for conservation purposes, pending restoration work.

Shrewsbury Flax Mill Maltings- Superintendent's and apprentices' houses
This building at the north end of the site is Listed Grade II* and was built in 1811 with the superintendent's house at this end and the apprentices' house behind. This was the second apprentices' house. It is not known how many apprentices were housed but one book states - "but it is not inconceivable that well over a hundred children were sheltered there".
