A legacy project is gathering memories to capture the spirit of a much-loved shopping centre.
The Shrewsbury Big Town Plan Partnership has launched the Riverside Remembered project to celebrate the history of Shrewsbury’s former Riverside Shopping Centre, which was demolished in 2024 to make way for new development.
An exhibition is planned for January 2027 at the Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery, and the public are being invited to contribute.
A spokesman for the partnership said: "Personal memories, family anecdotes, community experiences, and photographs will help build a meaningful and authentic record of what the Riverside meant to the people of Shrewsbury."
People are encouraged to share stories and images through an online portal, with the option to help research themed stories using historical material from Shropshire Archives.
The project seeks memories of events at the centre, its construction, nearby shops, and the Riverside Medical Practice.
Reminiscence groups will be held from early 2026, offering a space to share stories and contribute to the exhibition.
To take part, people can submit memories here or email riversideremembered@shropshire.gov.uk.
