Exhibition 'Changing Newtown' in Newtown Textile Museum
Photographic exhibition. Fifty years ago, Newtown was changing rapidly and two local photographers, Derek R. Parker of Llanidloes and Ron Haines of Newtown, set out to document the changes, as well as to record 'Old Newtown'. Our new exhibition looks at a selection of their work and compares the locations they captured with how they look today, with photographs taken by our curator, John. We are also hoping to run an oral project alongside the exhibition and we will be encouraging local visitors to share their memories of a different time
