Heritage Society
Last updated: 29 June 2009
Builth Wells and District Heritage Society meets every other Thursday for nine months of the year from October to June. Society member Pat Power explained more about the group.
"Meetings are held at Builth Wells library at 7.30pm on the second Thursday every month throughout the year apart from July, August and September.
Each meeting we have a visiting speaker or a member to talk on a local subject of historic interest.
On Monday 2 June 2009 we launched our book "Photographs of Old Builth Wells".
It is a collection of nearly 300 old photographs to illustrate the long and varied history of the town. The books cost £10 and are available either by contacting the Builth Wells & District Heritage Society or local outlets in Builth Wells.
Anyone with any interesting photos of the town can contact me on 01982 552381."

My great grandfather, William Jones (1830 - 1899), was the Innkeeper of The Swan Hotel [circa 1888 - 1890], so I was interested to date the photograph on page 47 of "Photographs of Old Builth Wells" as part of my family history research. Would you please let me know who submitted this photograph and whether he or she is able to let more have some background as to such photo?I look forward to your response in due course.Thanks - in anticipation!
