Exhibition panel from the ‘Pryce Jones Legacy Exhibition’ originally held at Newtown Library in May 2026, on the life and legacy of Sir Pryce Pryce-Jones (1834-1920).

This panel outlines how, by 1895, Pryce Jones’s enterprise had grown into a large, family‑run business empire centred on the Royal Welsh Warehouse. It explains that Jones combined his commercial success with a political career, while his sons and relatives helped manage the expanding network of factories, mills, and services linked to the warehouse. The text highlights major developments such as the addition of the company’s own post office and a bridge connecting the warehouse to its factory, reflecting the scale and sophistication of the operation. Overall, the panel shows Pryce Jones at the height of his influence, overseeing a thriving industrial and mail‑order organisation that shaped both Newtown’s economy and the wider retail world.
