Interested in the availability of shop units in the Parade Shopping Centre?
THE BUILDING
The Parade is a unique shopping centre which is home to 30 independent shops on two floors. Built in 1827 as the Royal Salop Infirmary in Greek renaissance style, it is now a grade II listed building. It was completely refurbished in 1983 to provide a selection of shops to give the shopper an experience quite different from chain stores in the High Street. The Parade offers some of the best town-centre speciality shops and workshops in prestigious surroundings.
SITUATION
The Parade is situated in St Mary’s Place in the town-centre of Shrewsbury. The building is a short walk from Castle Street and Pride Hill. To the rear it overlooks the River Severn and the English Bridge. Shoppers can approach from Castle Street or St Mary’s Street. There is a short-stay car park to the front of the building, giving easy access for customers.

The landlord reserves the right to decide what trades are allowable and to what extent they should overlap.
