Newtown Textile Museum 2026
The museum's four-storey building is a unique example of a vanished world which centres on industry and is described through exhibits in the former cottages, and gives visitors a chance to see how the hand-loom weavers of the mid-19th century lived and worked.

On the top two floors the story of fleece to flannel is illustrated by looms and spinning wheels, alongside displays of related industries and of influential local people, explaining the history of the woollen industry in Newtown.
In 2030 the museum building will celebrate its 200th Birthday and hopefully the Museum will continue to showcase its past long into the future.
