IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
China Street, LLANIDLOES, SY18 6AB

Built from 1872-74 by the Reverend William Jones, this was restored from 1983-86. This is situated on China Street, and the imposing façade gives an impression that this is the most detailed chapel in Llanidloes.

Here is the Mount Inn on Mount Lane, which houses a three star hotel. This is one of the main pubs in Llanidloes, and contains two Bass logos beneath the pub name text.

Built in the late 1860s by Mrs Marshall, this is adjacent to the Mount Inn, and this grade II listed (1989) building is on China Street. There was a hung flag of the European Union when I visited in early June 2021.

A Preaching Stone, at the western corner of Llanidloes Market Hall. The plaque on the stone states that according to tradition, John Wesley passed through Llanidloes at least 6 times and preached on this stone in 1748, 1749 and 1764.

Longbridge Street in the centre of Llanidloes used to be the route of the busy A470 until the 1991 when a bypass was built, largely following the course of the former railway line which closed in the 1960s.

The only surviving timber-framed market hall in Wales. Recent tree-ring dating has shown the present Hall was built at some time between 1612 and 1622 but some of the timbers used in its construction date from the mid-16th century, possibly recycled from an earlier market hall. The upper floor has, at different times, housed the law court and working men's institute. It now has a permanent exhibition about the construction of timber-framed buildings. The Image seems to have been reset since April 2006 and is now positioned so that someone might be able to stand upon it for preaching purposes. It means you must now twist your head to read the plaque. Older photos http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies/Daviesphotos/Llanidloes1900.jpg show that it used to lie round the corner in the road.

This is from the family photos of the contributor. The photograph was taken ca. 1965, the photographer died in 2001.

Originally known as 'the Booth Hall' from the market stalls or booths which stood beneath and around it, the hall was the focus of Llanidloes markets until the early 20th century.

At the corner of Great Oak Street.
