Shrewsbury house filled with concrete foam to save it from collapse
rIt might look like something out of Narnia but the unusual appearance of a county home is actually down to emergency work stopping it crashing down into the street.
Last month Shropshire Council shut off St Michaels Street in Shrewsbury amid concern that number 110 could collapse.
Emergency work has now been carried out to stabilise the house – ahead of a decision over what do to about its future.
The work from Derbyshire firm Restek, started on Saturday and managing director Tim Knight said that within 48 hours they had managed to stabilise the house.
The work has seen the space below the building's archway, and the corridor leading inside from its front door, filled with pipes and geopolymer foam concrete – it means both are completely blocked and impassable.
