::The Textile Museum in Newtown gives visitors a chance to see how the handloom weavers of the mid-19th century lived and worked. The block which houses the Museum was built in the 1830s as a hand-loom weaving factory, the looms occupying the third and fourth floor above three pairs of back-to-back cottages on the lower floors. Newtown's development into a centre of industry is described through exhibits in the former cottages, while on the top two floors the story of fleece to flannel is illustrated by looms and spinning wheels. | ::The Textile Museum in Newtown gives visitors a chance to see how the handloom weavers of the mid-19th century lived and worked.
