Shop in Howey, Llandrindod Wells closes after 200 years of trading

Shop

It's a sign of the times - rural shops going out of business and simply unable to compete with larger stores and supermarkets.

But for Joan and Glyn Bailey, who keep the village shop in Howey near Llandrindod Wells, it's particularly poignant... because when they closed their doors today, they ended more than two hundred years of trading at the premises.

Outside, the building hasn't changed much for the last two centuries. Inside, however, trade has fallen in recent years.
