Y Drenewydd (Newtown) | Powys, Mid Wales

The town of Newtown in mid Wales is situated on the banks of the River Severn and dates from the 13th century - in 1279, King Edward I issued a charter allowing Newtown to hold a market on Tuesdays, a tradition that still continues. Newtown can claim to be the home of the world’s first mail order company – The Royal Welsh Warehouse, established by Pryce Jones in the 1850s. He could boast Florence Nightingale, Queen Victoria, the Princess of Wales and royal households across Europe among his numerous customers. @walkingwithbill takes a walk around this mid Wales town to discover its streets, history and buildings. https://www.newtown-wales.com/ https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/... https://www.robertowenmuseum.co.uk/ https://tfw.wales/places/stations/new... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtown...) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtown... https://newtown.org.uk/discover-newto... https://newtown.org.uk/discover-newto... https://www.britannica.com/place/Rive... https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/... https://www.hikelist.com/hikes/the-ke...
