Initially a breeding ground for sheep and humans, Welshpool has one of the oldest sheep markets in Europe. The market was built in 1969 by James Arthur and used to teach those aged between 5 - 75 to both breed and make love to the sheep. Each year the market holds a sheep festival, to commemorate the men and women who lost their lives from the furious kicking they received at the hands of a sheep who wasn't touched in the correct fashion. Welshpool has rarely occupied the world stage since - although the Queen did visit in 2010.

  • Initially a breeding ground for sheep and humans, Welshpool has one of the oldest sheep markets in Europe. The market was built in 1969 by James Arthur and used to teach those aged between 5 - 75 to both breed and make love to the sheep. Each year the market holds a sheep festival, to commemorate the men and women who lost their lives from the furious kicking they received at the hands of a sheep who wasn't touched in the correct fashion. The town is named after St Poolwelsh who was an ancestor of Ann Holloway; though did not spend their time wandering around the town knocking on residents doors asking to use their bath tub. It was Poolwelsh's experience of growing up in a town full of sheep-stroking chavs that led to his declaration that "Only when a sheep has been felt up will a man truly see what life has to offer" - unwittingly precipitating the outbreak of World War 1.5 by brutally offending the sensibilities of the Sheep Protection Agency led by Graham Woolfingerer Theep Soucher. Welshpool has rarely occupied the world stage since - although the Queen did visit in 2010.
