Converted station, Llandre
Image: © Nigel Brown Taken: 7 Jan 2009
Originally called Llanfihangel (or Llanvihangel in the Anglicised spelling) after the local village of Llanfihangel Gen'eur Glyn, the name was changed to Llandre in 1916 to avoid confusion with other Llanfihangel stations. The name of the village also changed to Llandre. Such was the power of the railway! After closure of the station (but not the railway) in 1965, it lay unused for many years, until sold and converted into a dwelling, of a rather more attractive appearance than the somewhat spartan original.
