A row of 5 former canal wharf workers' cottages, according to the description in the Historic Wales/Coflein website https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/407381/, although if that's the case then 2 have no windows. It's possible that the 'missing' pair are the white building on the right, which are actually now part of the adjacent pub Image There were several wharves on the former Shropshire Union Canal branch which ran into this part of Newtown, mostly serving the burgeoning flannel and weaving businesses of the town in the 18th & 19th centuries.
