quote [ In 1797, an extraordinary building went up in Shropshire that would change the skylines of our cities forever. Described as “the grandfather of skyscrapers”, the Shrewsbury flax mill was the first building in the world to use an iron frame, which later developed into the modern steel frame structure used in modern buildings today. ]
There's a new world over the skyline

I'd love to go see this building. That it was the first of its kind built, and is still standing and in use over 200 years later is a true testament to the architect's vision.
