Brimmon Lane 1
Now reduced to a footpath linking Heol Treowen with the lower town, this lane has its origin in an older route to farms on the hill to the south of the town (see Image). There is also access to adjacent houses by car, but not as a through route. The Royal Welsh Warehouse can be seen in the valley below.

A Pryce-Jones building in Newtown
The date of this edifice is 1895 and it marks the high water mark maybe of the Pryce-Jones mail order company when his mail order operation spanned the globe and was set fair for the coming decades, until maybe the Great War and its foul aftermath.
Mid Wales did not boast many six-storey buildings in 1895 or buildings that would not look out of place in Cardiff or Swansea in that year, but this is one, and it is just one of a cluster of massive redbrick corporate statements housing what must surely have been the town's largest single employer in 1895.
Today there seems to be a gym in there along with a bowling operation and who knows what.
