Shrewsbury Justice Centre, Crown Court in Shrewsbury, England.
The Shrewsbury Justice Centre is a courthouse in Shrewsbury that handles criminal cases and social security hearings across four courtrooms. Built in 1994, it provides modern facilities for legal proceedings in a dedicated judicial space.
Before 1994, court hearings took place in Shrewsbury's Old Market Hall and a single-story extension of the Shirehall. The purpose-built Justice Centre provided a modern facility dedicated entirely to judicial proceedings.
The building's modernist architecture from 1994 incorporates an asymmetrical frontage that reflects contemporary British judicial building design principles.
The building sits on Preston Street and is straightforward to locate in central Shrewsbury. Following renovation work, the facility reopened with updated features and better access for visitors and court users.
A 2021 appeal overturned convictions for 24 construction workers originally sentenced here in 1973. This case highlights how courts can revisit and correct historical legal judgements.
