Shrewsbury is the County Town of Shropshire.

Cardiff also has a Crown Court.

 

[TheEdge]

Cardiff is the capital of Wales while Machynlleth claims to be the ancient capital of Wales. (interestingly a claim with little to no historical basis!)

Llanbedrgcoch in Anglesey has also hosted the National Eisteddfod of Wales

Cardiff is the capital of Wales while Machynlleth claims to be the ancient capital of Wales. (interestingly a claim with little to no historical basis!)

I wouldn't go saying that in the hearing of supporters of Owain Glyndwr!

Before setting-up his All-Wales parliament in Machynlleth, Glyndwr had lived in his family home at Sycharth, Powys.

Llanbedrgcoch in Anglesey has also hosted the National Eisteddfod of Wales

After preparing all that about Owain Glyndwr, I'm pipped to the post by Paul with his Llanbedrgcoch!!!

OK:-

Llanbedrgcoch is a Welsh hamlet on Ynys Mon, and Sycharth is a Welsh hamlet in Powys, where, incidentally, Owain Glyndwr had a family home, prior to his setting-up his All-Wales parliament in Machynlleth.

Howzat?

Bradford also has a local folk club (http://www.topic-folk-club.org.uk/ - it's moved since I last visited it, probably as the Melbourne public house is now a sari shop. The club song boasts of it being the oldest folk club in the world).
