Llanymynech
Llanymynech is a town straddling the border between Montgomeryshire/Powys, Wales, and also Shropshire, England, about 9 miles (14 km) north of the Welsh community of Welshpool. The name is Welsh for "Church of the Monks". The village gets on the financial institutions of the river Vyrnwy, as well as the Montgomery Canal travels through it. The border competes one of the most component along the frontages of the buildings on the east (English) side of the village's primary road, with the eastern half of the village in England as well as the western half in Wales. The Church of England parish church of St Agatha exists just in England, although the whole village lies in the very same clerical church. The boundary also passed right through the now shut Lion pub, which had two bars in Shropshire and one in Montgomeryshire. At one time Welsh areas were described as "damp" or "dry" relying on whether people could drink in pubs 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. 2 of the continuing to be open pubs in the town are entirely in England and also the 3rd is completely in Wales. Just to the north of the town is Pant. Additional north is the English market town of Oswestry. The English part of the village is in the civil parish of Llanymynech and also Pant, as well as in the electoral ward of Llanymynech in Shropshire. This ward had a population at the 2011 census of 3,988.
