Newtown

Unused Land Beside Holme House Prison It appears that the land has been prepared with an access road and large concrete pad, but no further development has taken place. An old railway alignment runs down the western side and Holme House Prison is on the east. National Cycle Route 1 now uses part of the concrete pad before continuing north using the old railway alignment.
