Llanbrynmair
Llanbrynmair is a town, neighborhood as well as electoral ward in Montgomeryshire, Powys, on the A470 road between Caersws and also Machynlleth. Llanbrynmair, in location, is the 2nd biggest in Powys. In 2011, it had a population of 920. The community consists of a number of districts: Talerddig, Dolfach, Tafolwern, Pandy, Cringoed and Pennant. The original centre is at Llan, when traveling to Llanidloes, where the neighborhood parish church of St Mary is located. The present centre (formerly called "Wynnstay") at the joint of the A470 and also B4518 rose to local prestige with the structure of the new turnpike road in 1821 as well as the arrival of the railway line between Newtown and also Machynlleth in 1861. Geographically, the community consists of the valleys of 3 rivers-- Afon Twymyn, Afon Iaen as well as Afon Rhiw Saeson-- as well as the surrounding uplands. The three rivers join around the main town and flow westwards as the Afon Twymyn towards the Afon Dyfi and also Cardigan Bay. The Cambrian railway line, constructed in the 1860s, runs through Llanbrynmair as well as temporarily supplied an electrical outlet for the mines at Dylife, 8 miles southern. The town station closed in 1965 as part of the "Beeching closures". There was a level crossing alongside the station but, adhering to the accidental fatality of an American visitor in October 1999 as well as its description as a "blackspot", the going across was closed and the road drawn away. The location is primarily Welsh-speaking as well as reliant upon livestock farming. It was lucky to leave the foot and also mouth disease outbreak in Britain in 2001.
