Watch: Latest drone footage reveals progress on Shrewsbury Riverside demolition two months on

The demolition of the former Riverside Shopping Center in Shrewsbury has been underway for two months.

Work began with the demolition of the old doctor’s office on August 19 and workers turned their attention to the shopping center the following week.

In September, crews also removed two walkways connecting the former Riverside Shopping Center to the multi-storey car park and the former Pride Hill Shopping Centre.

The works are part of the wider Smithfield Riverside Regeneration Program – an ambitious plan to revitalize the area between the River Severn, the Darwin Centre, Roushill and Raven Meadows.

Demolition of the entire centre, including the former Liquid/Diva nightclub, Somerfield, Wilko and Greggs, is expected to take around three months – meaning we are now two thirds of the way through the massive project .

A new riverside park is part of plans to revitalize the space, along with hotels, offices and leisure facilities.

Latest photographs have revealed that most of the old shopping center is now reduced to ruins.
