Rhayader The map below is taken from a detailed
Ordnance Survey map made in 1904. Across the bridge in Cwmdeuddwr -
on the western edge of the map - stands Rhayader
station which has improved the area's communications with the
outside world and offered opportunities to travel for working people. Compare with
Rhayader in 1840...

Rhayader
in 1904
It shows that Rhayader at the end of Queen Victoria's reign is still centred
on the cross roads and the Market Hall, but there
have been changes.
There
are more buildings in West Street and Church Street and it is obvious the
town has developed and grown. Look at the Rhayader
population graph to see what changes there were in the number of people
in the town.
