Newtown
Newtown is the largest town in the county of Powys, Wales. It had a permanent resident population of 12783 in 2001, falling to 11357 at the 2011 census. Newtown is nearly 8 miles (13 kilometres) from the Wales-England border, in the narrow valley of the river Severn which restricts growth north and south of the town. Newtown is surrounded by small villages usually referenced as the Newtown region. The town grew most noticeably in the 18th and 19th centuries around the fabric and flannel sector, which was further stimulated by the conclusion of the Montgomeryshire Canal. In 1838, the town saw Wales' first Chartist demonstration. The town was designated as a 'new town' in 1967. It has actually seen a considerable population growth as companies and people have settled, altering the rural market town character. Resting on the River Severn, within the historic perimeters of Montgomeryshire, the town is best recognised as the birth place of Robert Owen in 1771. His one-time house stood on what is now the site of the HSBC Bank. The Robert Owen Museum is over the road, taking up the ground floor of the council offices. Built by Sir Pryce Pryce-Jones, the Pryce Jones Royal Welsh Warehouse remains the tallest structure in Newtown. The 2 imposing structures housed the world's first mail order service depot. Bear Lanes, the town's principal shopping centre, has a Tudor-style entryway. The structure was at one time a hotel, The Bear, which brings about the centre's appeal today. Newtown is additionally the home of Theatr Hafren and of Oriel Davies, a leading public gallery, which displays national and global modern art and craft. Newtown hosted the National Eisteddfod in 1965. For all of your home remodelings, be sure to identify credible experts in Newtown to make certain of quality.
