| This photograph
was taken around 1882 and it shows
the view along Long Bridge Street in
Llanidloes on what seems to have been a fairly busy day for the people of
the town. You can't walk all over the road like this these days ! The picture was taken from the upper floor of the Market Hall, and the old water pump would have been just below the photographer. |
Drapery - a shop which sold lengths of cloth for curtains and chair coverings, cotton reels and sewing materials. | |

Long
Bridge
Street Llanidloes around 1882 |

The building
in the front of the picture on the right was known as the 'Trade
Hall', which was built in the 1860's for
the drapery
business of Morris and Sons. From about 1900 to 1968 the Llanidloes Post Office was located there. |

The Van
Vaults, which was a pub named after the Van
Lead Mines, is in the next block on the right. This was opened in
Llanidloes because the village near the mines was not allowed to have
a place to drink alcohol ! Back to Llanidloes picture menu
