The two large Victorian buildings in the centre of the photo are Agricultural House http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/32018/details/AGRICULTURE+HOUSE%3BPRYCE+JONES+FACTORY/ and the Royal Welsh Warehouse http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/32049/details/ROYAL+WELSH+WAREHOUSE%2C+OLD+KERRY+ROAD%2C+NEWTOWN%3BPRYCE+JONES+WAREHOUSE%2C+OLD+KERRY+ROAD%2C+NEWTOWN/ , both were built for the Pryce Jones mail-order business in the 19th century and are sited very close to the railway station. Behind these buildings lies the 1970s built 'new town' of Treowen. Between the Royal Welsh Warehouse and the camera is the McDonald's Restaurant and drive-thru (with pyramidal roof) which stands close to the River Severn on the site of a large laundry. There is a glimpse of the river to the right and the Cambrian Bridge stretches across it just in front of McDonald's.
