Description: Royal Welsh Warehouse, Newtown Built in 1879 by David Walker for Pryce Jones, a local man, who had founded the world's first mail order business in 1859. The building was added to in stages. Both the outside and interior have a wealth of detail commemorating Queen Victoria and Pryce-Jones' success at exhibitions in Philadelphia in 1896 and Vienna in 1873. For more on the history of the business see http://a-day-in-the-life.powys.org.uk/eng/home/eo_pryce.php . The building currently houses a £ Stretcher, carpet retailer, hairdresser and café.
