Llanymynech
Llanymynech is a town straddling the boundary between Montgomeryshire/Powys, Wales, and Shropshire, England, concerning 9 miles (14 kilometres) north of the Welsh town of Welshpool. The name is Welsh for "Church of the Monks". The village is on the banks of the river Vyrnwy, and also the Montgomery Canal passes through it. The border competes one of the most part along the frontages of the structures on the eastern (English) side of the village's major street, with the eastern half of the town in England and also the western half in Wales. The Church of England parish church of St Agatha lies simply in England, although the entire village lies in the very same clerical church. The boundary also passed right through the currently closed Lion club, which had 2 bars in Shropshire and also one in Montgomeryshire. At once Welsh areas were referred to as "wet" or "completely dry" relying on whether individuals might drink in bars on Sundays. When Montgomeryshire was dry it was legal to consume on Sundays in the two English bars of the Lion but not the Welsh bar. 2 of the remaining open bars in the village are entirely in England and the third is entirely in Wales. Simply to the north of the town is Pant. More north is the English market town of Oswestry. The English part of the village remains in the civil parish of Llanymynech and Pant, and also in the selecting ward of Llanymynech in Shropshire. This ward had a population at the 2011 census of 3,988.
