Knighton
and district

old pictures
Looking into England | ||
The picture below is an engraving
from the early 19th century. Like
the other prints of Knighton in this
section, it was made to sell to travellers and holiday makers as a memento
of a visit. |
View of Knighton from Garth Hill |
Notice
how the drawing shows what a small country town Knighton was at this time.
Much of it is hidden in the trees. Again the artist has emphasised the great bulk of Panpunton Hill with its quarries and woodland just over the border. The one Knighton building which is easily recognisable is the parish church. .
