Radnorshire - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | Radnorshire is well supplied with water, its principal river being the Wye (Gwy), which, after crossing the N.W. corner of the county, forms its boundary from Rhayader onward to the English border. |
 | | The area of Radnorshire is 301,164 acres, and the population in 1891 was 21,791, while in 1901 it had risen to 23,362; an increase chiefly due to the immigration of outside labourers to the Elan Valley waterworks. |
 | | Radnorshire is included in the South Wales circuit, and assizes are held at Presteign, which ranks as the county town. |
