Welshpool
Welshpool is a community and area in Wales, traditionally in the area of Montgomeryshire, yet currently administered as part of the unitary authority of Powys. The community is positioned 4 miles (6.4 kilometres) from the Wales-- England boundary and also low-lying on the River Severn; its Welsh language name Y Trallwng means "the marshy or sinking land". Welshpool is the 4th biggest town in Powys. In English it was at first referred to as Pool but its name was changed to Welshpool in 1835 to differentiate it from the English town of Poole. It has a population of 6,664 (UK Census 2011), contains much Georgian architecture and also is simply north of Powis Castle. The local economic situation is mainly based upon farming and regional industry. The Smithfield Livestock Market is the largest one-day sheep market in Europe, whilst the town's industrial estates are residence to various various types of small market. Due to the community's tiny dimension and also population the tourist attraction of high street stores is limited, implying most of the residents are compelled to go shopping in neighbouring communities like Newtown and Shrewsbury.
