Llanbrynmair
Llanbrynmair is a village, community and electoral ward in Montgomeryshire, Powys, on the A470 road in between Caersws as well as Machynlleth. Llanbrynmair, in location, is the second largest in Powys. In 2011, it had a population of 920. The area consists of a number of districts: Talerddig, Dolfach, Tafolwern, Pandy, Cringoed and Pennant. The initial centre goes to Llan, when traveling to Llanidloes, where the neighborhood parish church of St Mary lies. The current centre (previously called "Wynnstay") at the junction of the A470 as well as B4518 rose to neighborhood prestige with the building of the new turnpike road in 1821 as well as the arrival of the railway line between Newtown as well as Machynlleth in 1861. Geographically, the area consists of the valleys of three rivers-- Afon Twymyn, Afon Iaen and Afon Rhiw Saeson-- and the surrounding uplands. The 3 rivers join around the major village and circulation westwards as the Afon Twymyn towards the Afon Dyfi and Cardigan Bay. The Cambrian railway line, constructed in the 1860s, runs through Llanbrynmair and also for a time gave an outlet for the mines at Dylife, 8 miles southern. The town station closed in 1965 as part of the "Beeching closures". There was a degree going across beside the station yet, following the unintended fatality of an American visitor in October 1999 and its description as a "blackspot", the going across was closed and also the road drawn away. The location is predominantly Welsh-speaking as well as reliant upon livestock farming. It was lucky to leave the foot and mouth illness outbreak in Britain in 2001.
