Automobile Palace Cycles detail - IMG 0656 — Detail on the facade of the building

The National Cycle Collection of Wales is a collection of bicycles through the ages established in 1997, and located in Llandrindod Wells, Wales, United Kingdom. It contains around 250 bicyles from 1818 to 2005, including a large collection of penny farthings and solid tyred safety bicycles, as well as cycling books, accessories and paraphernalia.

The collection is housed in the former premises of The Automobile Palace Ltd, a famouse car dealership that started off selling cycles initially. Some of the collection was collected by the companies proprietor Tom Norton. The building has references to its cycling heritage in some of the detailing of the facade which is in the Art Deco style.
