It’s important to us that our pupils know the history of their home town so Year 5 visited the Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings.
They toured this important heritage site which is the first multifloored iron-framed building in the world! The mill which opened in 1797 has links to Coleham as one of the largest iron foundries in the country was situated behind what is now the Coleham Deli shop and their first major contract was to supply the ironwork for the Flax Mill.
The children visited the mill exhibition and undertook some STEM structure building challenges. It was a great morning exploring local history #lovewherewelive
