Location - Pool Quay, located in Powys, Wales, is a historic village and ecclesiastical parish. Its name comes from being the highest navigable point on the river near Welshpool, originally called Pool or Poole.

Some History - Pool Quay was once a key location for trade and transportation, with the Severn River and the Montgomery Canal passing through.

The village is near the site of Strata Marcella Abbey where a lot of the building materials for the adjoining barn have originated from.
