Star’s front row seat for sporting history
- Local newspaper week
Music hall to museum plan backed
Thursday 20th November 2008, 11:37AM GMT.
Plans to transform Shrewsbury’s historic Music Hall into a museum, tourist information centre and cafe have been given the go-ahead.
The aim is to improve public access to the building, parts of which date back to the 13th century.
More modern parts will be demolished. The multi-million pound scheme has had financial setbacks after failing to get Lottery money.
The authority will learn in December if its latest bid for a Lottery grant is successful.
The premises will not be open to the public or customers outside 9am to 11pm.
