Builth Wells
Builth Wells is a market town and area in the county of Powys as well as historic county of Brecknockshire (Breconshire), mid Wales, lying at the convergence of rivers Wye and Irfon, in the Welsh (or upper) part of the Wye Valley. It has a population of 2,568. Most of the community's structures, including the 1876 Market Hall, were built from rock from Llanelwedd Quarry. Much of the facing as well as various other dressed stone used in the construction of the Elan Valley dams was additionally quarried here. The quarry generated the first occurrence of laumontite in Wales. The quarry is currently run by Hanson Aggregates. Builth is a historical anglicization of the Old Welsh Buellt/Buallt which integrates bu be, similar to some Middle English orthography), indicating "ox" with gellt (later gwellt), indicating "lea or leas"; the exact same kind is used regardless of gender of the pet. The community included "Wells" in the 19th century when its springtimes were promoted as a site visitor attraction. Its modern-day Welsh name Llanfair-ym-Muallt implies "Saint Mary in Ox Leas".
