GENERAL. The Colwyn Rural District is almost entirely agricultural, with a small amount of industry which is concentrated in the parish of Llanelwedd. Although there was, in the past, a fairly important concentration of industry at the railway centre of Builth Road, the importance of this junction has declined progressively since the advent of nationalisation, and only a skeleton staff is now maintained. There are no large towns in the district. GENERAL AND VITAL STATISTICS. General. Area . 29,579 acres. Population (Census 1951). . 1,729. (Males 893.Females 836). No. of inhabited houses . . 480.
