The Textile museum, just over the Long Bridge from the centre of Newtown, celebrates the woollen industry, which brought wealth and recognition to Newtown in the 18th and 19th centuries. The collection is housed in an old woollen mill building and shows machines used by weavers and the difficult and dangerous working conditions that mill workers endured.
