Welshpool
Welshpool is a town as well as community in Wales, historically in the area of Montgomeryshire, yet currently administered as part of the unitary authority of Powys. The town is positioned 4 miles (6.4 km) from the Wales-- England border and low-lying on the River Severn; its Welsh language name Y Trallwng suggests "the marshy or sinking land". Welshpool is the fourth biggest town in Powys. In English it was at first known as Pool but its name was transformed to Welshpool in 1835 to identify it from the English community of Poole. It has a population of 6,664 (United Kingdom Census 2011), includes much Georgian style as well as is simply north of Powis Castle. The local economy is largely based upon agriculture as well as local market. The Smithfield Livestock Market is the biggest one-day lamb market in Europe, whilst the town's industrial estates are residence to various various types of tiny industry. As a result of the town's tiny dimension as well as population the tourist attraction of high street stores is restricted, meaning much of the locals are required to shop in adjoining communities like Newtown and also Shrewsbury.
