West side of Plas Maldwyn, Caersws
Luxury apartments viewed from Ty Gwyn Road. Occupying a rectangular site about 90 metres by 80 metres,
the building was named Plas Maldwyn on conversion and modernisation in 2006. Plas is not Welsh for place.
It means a grand building, such as a palace, mansion or hall. A plaque http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4729211 records that this building was originally a Victorian workhouse, designed by Thomas Penson, built 1837-1840.

New development in Caersws
Apparently this site was the old workhouse and later a hospital until re-development recently into a large-ish apartment block. Where you once went if you were really poor or couldn't look after yourself you now have to pay a premium to live. Ain't it always the way comrade?

Plas Maldwyn, Caersws
The workhouse for the Newtown and Llanidloes area was built at Caersws in the 1840's. After the Second World War, the workhouse building was used to accommodate handicapped patients under the name of Llys Maldwyn, until its closure in 1999. It has now been converted into luxury apartments and maisonettes and renamed Plas Maldwyn.
