Barnfields, Coed y Ffrid and Canal Road

The eastern parts of Newtown viewed from the ridge road to Dolfor. Heading north in the centre is Llanfair Road; the big house to its right is Plas-y-Bryn. The white terraces closer to the camera are Coed y Ffridd with the Barnfields estate, built in the 1960s and expanded in the 2000s, between the two. Just below Coed y Ffridd are the bungalows of Dinam terrace on Y Ffrydd, both built in the 1930s, I think. Below that are housing developments along Canal Road and Lower Canal Road, largely post WWII and some very recent. Bottom left is Cambrian Bridge, built in 1993 - see https://media.geograph.org.uk/view.php?id=3206 for a photo of it during construction, the viewpoint for this photo is roughly central at the top of the old one. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5966333 for a wider view.
