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.

Green shield bug nymph
The green shield bug (Palomena prasina) is a British native and quite common in Britain, especially in the south (and no, you don't get stamps with it). The nymph, seen here, is smaller and squarer than the adult form as well as somewhat darker in colour with distinctive markings on its carapace.

Palmate newt and black slug
Newts are carnivorous but, looking at the relative sizes, I don't think they're going to keep the slug population in check.

Junction of unnamed private road and Barn Lane
It's getting difficult to differentiate the poorly paved private road on the left, from Barn Lane at this point, although potholes are usually better repaired on Barn Lane.
A vehicle has knocked into the post box on the corner in the last year. It's difficult to turn right into the private road here, and no real need since it is not a cul-de-sac, but some large vehicles have difficulty at either end.
