The old community centre is the white building with a corrugated metal roof, and a 'For Sale' sign. On its left is a hall belonging to the Machynlleth detachment of the Army Cadet Force, and on the right is the Co-operative food store. The building was originally a drill hall, probably dating from the early 20th century http://www.drillhalls.org/TownMachynlleth.htm . It became surplus to community requirements after Machynlleth Town Council acquired this building in 2008 Image . Since this photo was taken, the centre has been demolished. The site was bought by the Co-op in order to enlarge their store. The extension, which opened in 2014, has been built in a style which replicates the appearance of the old drill hall.
