Newtown Textile Museum is located in an 1830s hand-loom weaving 'factory'. The building consisted of six back-to-back cottages on the lower floors and two large rooms which housed up to 22 handlooms on the top two floors. It gives visitors a chance to see how the handloom weavers of the mid-19th century lived and worked. The museum features exhibits related to: woollen industry, costume and textiles, social history and land transport in mid-Wales.
