2 Castle Terrace
Here we have the delightfully named House of Correction, or the county Gaol.

Built in the mid eighteenth century it was later dressed up with Tudor’style drip mouldings over the windows, which was probably done when the building was converted in the nineteenth century for domestic occupation.

We know from old records that in 1803 there were 3 debtors, 10 felons, and 3 lunatics in residence who each had an allowance of six pence a day each in bread.

Bunners
Every town needs a shop like Bunners – a shop that sells everything.

Open as Bunners since 1891, with a shop front from1910, it is a great example of a Victorian hardware store which is very useful and relevant today and yet retains all the charm of yesteryear.

Town Hall
The town hall is a lovely piece of Georgian design and unlike its neighbours, which hide earlier buildings, it replaces what was a nice open half-timbered market hall similar to the one that has survived in Llanidloes.

By the end of the nineteenth century the ground floor was enclosed and the cupola and clock were added in 1921.

Arthur Street
For a relatively short street there used to be a number of public houses at one time. The cottages here used to be a pub, the Plume of Feathers, and are the oldest cottages in town.

They started life as a small townsman’s hall house with a pair of storeyed gables with a connecting wing between them. The are likely to date from the sixteenth century.
