Timelapse video shows demolition of Shrewsbury’s Riverside shopping centre

The demolition of the former Riverside shopping centre and medical practice in Shrewsbury began in August 2024 as part of work to regenerate the Smithfield Riverside area of the town.

A timelapse camera is recording the demolition work, and the latest footage can be seen below – and on the project website at smithfieldriverside.com.

Smithfield Riverside is an ambitious regeneration plan for the area between The Darwin shopping centre, Roushill, and the River Severn in Shrewsbury town centre, led by Shropshire Council.

The demolition work is expected to last until the end of the year.

The work is fully funded by the UK Government.
