Brief description
"Llanfyllin Workhouse is a developing community centre and venue for the arts, music, creativity and education. The Workhouse is owned, managed and supported by the Llanfyllin Dolydd Building Preservation Trust (registered charity no.1091097).
Built in 1837, this imposing stone building served as a workhouse for up to 250 inmates until 1930, when it became a local authority institution and later a care home. It finally closed in 1983.
Y Dolydd is a Community Enterprise for Arts, Education, Environment and Heritage. It’s housed in the Llanfyllin Union Workhouse: the only one in Wales open to the public." https://www.llanfyllinworkhouse.org.uk/
