Llanbrynmair is a town, neighborhood and also selecting ward in Montgomeryshire, Powys, on the A470 road between Caersws as well as Machynlleth. Llanbrynmair, in area, is the second biggest in Powys. In 2011, it had a population of 920. The area includes a number of communities: Talerddig, Dolfach, Tafolwern, Pandy, Cringoed and Pennant. The initial centre goes to Llan, when driving to Llanidloes, where the local parish church of St Mary is located. The current centre (formerly called "Wynnstay") at the joint of the A470 as well as B4518 rose to neighborhood prestige with the building of the brand-new turnpike road in 1821 and the arrival of the railway line in between Newtown and Machynlleth in 1861. Geographically, the community includes the valleys of three rivers-- Afon Twymyn, Afon Iaen and also Afon Rhiw Saeson-- as well as the bordering uplands. The three rivers join around the primary town as well as circulation westwards as the Afon Twymyn in the direction of the Afon Dyfi as well as Cardigan Bay. The Cambrian railway line, integrated in the 1860s, goes through Llanbrynmair as well as for a time supplied 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 crossing next to the station however, complying with the unintended death of an American visitor in October 1999 and its description as a "blackspot", the going across was closed as well as the road diverted. The area is mostly Welsh-speaking and also reliant upon livestock farming. It was privileged to leave the foot and also mouth disease break out in Britain in 2001.
