Good news! 🎉 Shrewsbury’s ‘hidden gem’ Morris Hall is newly listed at Grade II.
It was built in the 1930s to host the town's growing Labour movement. Designed in the Arts and Crafts style, Morris Hall has been recognised as a building of special national interest as a little-altered example of the historic English Revival architecture that was popular in the inter-war years.
Its high-quality joinery and fixtures can still be seen today, and the craftsmanship reflects the values of its commissioner, James Kent Morris, who was a prominent figure in Shrewsbury's commercial and political life.
