THE celebration of the life of Robert Owen continued in Newtown this weekend. A wreath was placed at the statue of the great social reformer earlier in the week and a new oil painting of the man who is remembered as the father of socialism was presented to the Robert Owen Museum on Friday. The painting was lovingly created by local artist Brian Jones as a dedication to the town s most famous son whose statue and grave have been lit up in lights to mark the week marking 250 years since his birth. Despite living much of his life away from Newtown, his legacy can be found across the town to this day with the Treowen estate named in Robert Owen s honour in the 1960s.
