A national heritage campaign group is trying to block plans to demolish a 19th century industrialist's home in Newtown.
The SAVE Britain's Heritage group says Croesawdy on New Road in the town was built in 1881 for Samuel Morgan Jr, who was heir to the Severn Valley Mill dynasty.
While a month-long consultation which ended on Wednesday was undertaken the building has been placed under interim protection. A decision on listing is anticipated on the 28th. “As Cadw points out, the building was designed to be fashionable, with clear influences from the Arts and Crafts movement in its traditional stylistic references and high-quality finishes and fittings. The special historic interest both internally and externally is demonstrated in the grand central entrance hall with moulded archways and original fixtures and fittings, and plan form throughout.
“It has special historic interest as a visible and prominent part of the late 19th- century development of the mid-Wales textile industry, a building that through its architectural character reflects the relative prosperity of the period.”
