Montgomery is small but very pleasant town who's history stretches back as far as Roman times. This view is of Broad Street which is also known as the Square and has the Market Hall at the far end.

At the time of writing parking in the Square is free if you can find a space.

Arthur Street, Montgomery, Mongomeryshire
Montgomery, Montgomeryshire

This is Arthur Street a turning off Broad Street near the Market Hall. The second building along is the Old Bell Museum which was once a 16th century inn. The name of the museum derives from the old inn and it does not indicate the museums content.

Eleven rooms house displays relating to local history.

The view towards the Dragon Hotel, Montgomery, Mongomeryshire
Montgomery, Montgomeryshire

This little lane does not appear to have a name; it leads up to the castle ruins and, be warned, it is very steep. The timber-framed building below is the Dragon Hotel. It dates from the 17th century and was a former coaching inn.

The clock tower on the left is on the Market Hall.
