When people think of Wales, its picturesque landscapes, castles and rolling countryside tend to come to mind, with European cities such as Cardiff getting much of the limelight. But what is often overlooked is the relatively small town of Welshpool and the surrounding areas, a hidden gem in Mid Wales. Home to over 6,000 people, the Welshpool and Newtown area boasts a lot more than just rolling hills and scenery; the car industry, motorsport and the finance industry are progressively making connections to although a rare commodity in the area, British Leyland can also be found here. To get to the bottom of this growing relationship between Welshpool and these industries, we'll need to take an in-depth look into this area and its history.
Location & Demographics
Welshpool is a small market town situated approximately 11 miles from the border of England, just over 40 miles from Shrewsbury, its county town, and a staggering 100 miles from the Welsh Capital of Cardiff in the South. It is a part of the county of Powys, along with Newtown and Caersws and forms a part of the Welshpool and Newtown Local Authority. Around 6,247 people reside in this part of Mid Wales according to the 2011 census with a figure of around 17.5% of the population being over the age of 60.
A Brief History & Connections to the Car Industry
The town has been present since at least the start of the 13th century, with records suggesting its close connections to the English-Welsh border wars of the time with the town being controlled by various English ruling families over time. Welshpool was also the site of a castle, constructed in the same century, which has since been ruined. The town is also home to an old tram depot which fell into disrepair until the 1980s when it was transformed into a car museum by the British Leyland Motor Corporation. The museum featured a range of classic and vintage vehicles from a variety of British brands and was open from 1979 to 2004.

Not only this, but Welshpool also plays host to a number of meetings and races of the Welsh Touring Car Association which can often be seen roaring around the town and its countryside, especially during weekends and Bank Holidays.
