The original centre goes to Llan, when driving 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 regional prestige with the structure of the brand-new turnpike road in 1821 and also the arrival of the railway line in between Newtown and also Machynlleth in 1861. Geographically, the community includes the valleys of 3 rivers-- Afon Twymyn, Afon Iaen and also Afon Rhiw Saeson-- and also the surrounding uplands. The three rivers sign up with around the major village and also flow westwards as the Afon Twymyn in the direction of the Afon Dyfi and also Cardigan Bay. The Cambrian railway line, built in the 1860s, goes through Llanbrynmair and also for a while offered an electrical outlet for the mines at Dylife, 8 miles south. The town station closed in 1965 as part of the "Beeching closures". There was a level going across next to the station however, complying with the unexpected death of an American visitor in October 1999 as well as its description as a "blackspot", the crossing was shut and the road diverted. The area is predominantly Welsh-speaking and also reliant upon livestock farming. It was lucky to escape the foot and mouth condition episode in Britain in 2001.
