At a number of locations in the town are these 'bone' signs, each sponsored by a business. Attached to each sign is a supply of dog poo bags. What an excellent idea to help keep the town clean. Knighton is a somewhat remote market town gaining its charter in 1203. It is sited on the River Teme some 60 miles north of Cardiff. It lies on the Welsh/English border, with a small part in Shropshire, including its railway station. Originally an Anglo-Saxon settlement, Knighton is located on Offa's Dyke, the ancient earthwork that divided the two countries. It later became a Norman defensive border town.
