The Leighton Model Farm near Welshpool in Montgomeryshire was a pioneering Victorian farm built on an industrial scale. It was built between 1847 and the early 1860’s for John Naylor of Leighton Hall to designs by the estate architects J. W. Poundley and D. Walker. It consist of a rectangular complex of buildings of 12 listed red brick buildings, of which 10 are Gradeii* and two are Grade II. The farm was a gradual development structured either side of a central E-W axis in which a threshing barn was built with hay and fodder storage buildings either side of it, all of which were linked by a broad gauge railway. On the N and S sides of this axis stockyards were built, served by 2 N-S service roads. John Naylor’s grandson, Captain J.M. Naylor, sold the Estate in 1931, when the Leighton Farm was bought by Montgomeryshire County Council and subsequently split up into small industrial units. The complex is now in the process of being restored.
