Llanymynech
Llanymynech is a town straddling the boundary in between Montgomeryshire/Powys, Wales, and Shropshire, England, about 9 miles (14 kilometres) north of the Welsh town of Welshpool. The name is Welsh for "Church of the Monks". The village is on the financial institutions of the river Vyrnwy, and also the Montgomery Canal goes through it. The border runs for the most component along the frontages of the buildings on the eastern (English) side of the village's main street, with the eastern fifty percent of the town in England and also the western fifty percent in Wales. The Church of England parish church of St Agatha lies simply in England, although the whole village lies in the exact same ecclesiastical parish. The boundary likewise passed right through the currently closed Lion club, which had 2 bars in Shropshire as well as one in Montgomeryshire. At once Welsh counties were referred to as "wet" or "completely dry" depending on whether people can drink in bars on Sundays. When Montgomeryshire was dry it was legal to drink on Sundays in both English bars of the Lion but not the Welsh bar. Two of the continuing to be open bars in the village are completely in England and also the 3rd is totally in Wales. Simply to the north of the village is Pant. Further north is the English market town of Oswestry. The English part of the town remains in the civil parish of Llanymynech as well as Pant, and also in the selecting ward of Llanymynech in Shropshire. This ward had a population at the 2011 census of 3,988.
