Sheep!

There is a sheep dangling over Siop Yr Oen, Great Oak Street. As the shop is currently a butchers, it gives the false impression that the sheep is related to current trade. Not so. There used to be a pub called the Wellington, in Bethel Street, opposite. Many moons ago, market day in Llanidloes meant that farmers used to leave their animals on the street, whilst they went for a drink. Farmer goes into the Wellington, sheep in Bethel Street. Story goes, the sheep saw their reflection in the window of the shop, and ran straight through the glass.
