Cambrian Mills
The Cambrian Mills was a complex of woollen mill buildings in Newtown, Powys, Wales, that operated from 1856 to 1912, when they were destroyed by fire.At one time the mill complex was the largest woollen manufacturer in Wales.The mills owed their success to the pioneering mail order business of the local Newtown draper Pryce Pryce-Jones.In the longer term they were unable to compete with woollen mills in northern England due to the cost of importing coal to power the machinery and the lack of rail links to their natural market in the south of Wales.
