Last updated: 08 August 2007

Take a virtual tour of Montgomery with this slideshow of photographs taken in April 2006. The information comes from the town trail information points which are dotted around Montgomery.

The Town Hall was built in 1748 to replace an earlier guildhall which previously stood in the middle of Broad Street. In 1828, in the reign of George IV, the old upper storey was taken down and rebuilt to accommodate the quarter sessions which were still held in Montgomery at that time.

Love Montgomery, recently went to a wonderful gift shop in the centre of town and think I left a bag there. Please can anyone tell me the name of that gift shop, next to the wonderful deli and coffee shop. Thank you/ Edwina

This webpage and the town webpage is great. I studied for a year in the UK and took a day trip to Montgomery right before I came back to my homeland. I noticed it in the film "A Child's Christmas in Wales." The town was awesome and the people were nice beyond imagination. I wish I could find an address for the town hall to write the town a letter telling them what a great impression Montgomery and the people made on me. The next time I'm back in the UK I hope to come back.

Hello, Could anyone tell me if there is a place called Crugbryn in Montgomery. My ancestor Mary Ann Davies was born there in 1872. I am also wondering if anyone could do a look up for me at the parish churchyard. George Davies who died around 1901 and Margaret Davies who died between 1891 and 1901. I wouldn't think they would have been in the same grave, as the census records show they were living separately. Any help would be gratefully appreciatedThanks

Is there, or was there, a place called Conquer Hall in Montgomery? I am interested because of a family history connection with the Hurdley family.

My grandfather William Henry Jones was a master wheelwright in Montgomery and lived at Church Bank, opposite the parish church. I would love to find some local records of his wheelwright's workshop and stories of his family.

I love the panoramic view of your town. I would love to visit Montgomery. I remember seeing your town in one of my favorite christmas film. "A child's christmas in Wales" My wife and I will be in Wales in Late June - Early July. How far are you from St. David's Wales. I would love to visit the town.

Great to see the town getting some space on the BBC. I'm not sure that the 'Roman Road' actually is Roman however. I understood that the route was made around the time of the town's founding in the early 13th century. There are Roman roads and even traces of a fort some two miles to the north at Caerhowell/Forden. A great book written by two local doctors (the Weltons) exists on the history of the town.
