The Parade Shops, formerly the Royal Salop Infirmary, is a specialist shopping centre at St Mary's Place in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England. It is a Grade II listed building. [1]
The original facility on the site was the Salop Infirmary designed by William Baker of Audlem and completed in 1745, [1] [2] converting a mansion named Broom Hall which had been a local house of Corbet Kynaston. [3] The infirmary was completely rebuilt to a design by Edward Haycock, with occasional inspections by Sir Robert Smirke, in the Greek Revival style [4] in 1830. [1] An additional wing was completed in 1870 and it was renamed the Royal Salop Infirmary in 1914. [5] It joined the National Health Service in 1948. [5] The hospital was closed, after structural difficulties were experienced, on 20 November 1977. [6] After services transferred to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital by 1979, the Royal Salop Infirmary buildings were acquired by a developer who converted it into a shopping centre in the early 1980s.
