New sign on The Black Boy
When J D Wetherspoon first acquired The Black Boy in Broad Street, Newtown, they caused some controversy by announcing they would rename it 'Llewellyn ap Gruffydd'. It seemed an odd choice, there being a number of people with strong connections with the town they could have chosen and the feeling amongst vocal locals was "We will continue to call it The Black Boy" whatever you do. Eventually common sense, and the result of a local newspaper poll http://www.countytimes.co.uk/news/131235/wetherspoons-asks-readers-to-name-pub.aspx prevailed and it remains The Black Boy with this rather splendid new sign.

Robert Owen bronze, Wesley Street, Newtown

Social reformer Robert Owen was born in Newtown in 1771 and died in Newtown in 1858.
In 1800 he became manager of a mill in New Lanark, Scotland, where by improving working and housing conditions and providing schools, he created a model community. His ideas stimulated the co-operative movement - the sharing of resources for joint economic benefit. From 1817 onwards, he proposed that villages of cooperation (self-supporting communities run on socialist lines) should be founded. He believed that these would in time replace private ownership. However, his later attempt to run such a community in the USA (named New Harmony) was a failure.
