"Our display will inform visitors to their venue about the historic past of the Abbey Station site. We are also most pleased to reciprocate their kind gesture by displaying some of their literature and promotional material. The Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings is a must-visit experience that I can really recommend.”
