History

The original facility on the site was Salop Infirmary completed in 1745. The infirmary was completely rebuilt to a design by Edward Haycock, with occasional inspections by Sir Robert Smirke, in the Greek Revival style in 1830. An additional wing was completed in 1870 and it was renamed the Royal Salop Infirmary in 1914. It joined the National Health Service in 1948. 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.
