Old milestone south of Welshpool
The stone alongside the A458 shows 12½ to Newt(own) and 1 mile to Pool, the earlier name of Welshpool.
The Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust website states that there have been various suggestions as to the derivation of the name Welshpool. Records of 1253-4 provide the earliest names for the town which refer to Capella de Trallu'g said to mean "the chapel of pool town". Later, this name occurs as Pola, a Latinised form of pool. The Pool in question has been taken to be either a large sheet of water formerly in Powis Park or the River Severn at nearby Pool Quay - the highest navigable point of the river in medieval times. In 1277 Edward I created Gruffyd ap Gwenwynwyn, Prince of Upper Powis and the owner of Powis Castle, Baron de la Pole.
Leland is credited with the first reference to Welshpool around 1530, the "Welsh" apparently added by this time to distinguish it from Poole in Dorset.
