The small Welsh market town of Knighton stands on the English border where the River Teme flows into England.

Built originally as a controlled crossing place on Offa's dyke, the town always looked eastward and had good links with Shropshire and Herefordshire.
Victorian Knighton had long been a centre for the farming community with its livestock sales and transport links.

Like the other communities on our website, Knighton and the villages of north-eastern Radnorshire underwent great changes during Queen Victoria's reign.
