A new SHOPPING AREA has recently been built. It has a vertical concrete feature.*
*I asked a passer-by what it signified, and the answer was 'It's just some architecture of some sort.'

I was in the library for an hour the other week (seen the museum before, and they were between exhibitions). It is a great venue for Brecon.

Having observed a lot of ill-judged applications and adaptations, I think your adjustments are very pragmatic and will hopefully lead to better results hereon.

The sign suggests it's a byway, so legally (but not practically) open to all traffic. Many byways should arguably be downgraded to bridleways.

Sign Birkenhead Tunnel 320 yards ahead, red circle containing a stylised goods vehicle with a square orange body, letter D, Prohibited traffic follow Chester (A41).
I feel we may have had this conversation previously, but orange is also used (admittedly rarely) to indicate hazardous goods prohibitions. As seen in your avatar, amongst other places.

If it's any consolation, I travelled on Sunday (personal) and have a return journey for work coming up, so I feel your extended journey times.
On Sunday I made a virtue of it and went on Chiltern to Birmingham (a much more civilised route) and saw three excellent exhibitions before heading north.
