Cymric Mill on Lower Canal Road
One of the remaining former tweed mills of Newtown, which was converted to flats several years ago. The former millworkers' houses to the left were restored around the same time. Beyond those lies the quite imposing Image of the late 19th century.

Cymric Mill
Once a flannel mill, it has been converted into residential apartments. It stands between Canal Road and the River Severn on the eastern outskirts of Newtown.
The Montgomery Canal used to lie between the mill and the river, terminating in a basin to the SW. The empty plot to the left of the building is the site of the much larger Commercial Mill.

Cymric Mill during the building of Cwrt Cei Coed
This former tweed mill was converted into flats some years ago. The houses on the left are part of the original mill and were built at the same time, possibly to house workers.
It used to back onto the canal but that was filled in long ago. The roadway beside it does provide access over the flood defences to the river.
Photos of the building of Cwrt Cei Coed on the adjacent plot may be found here https://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/18420
