Llanidloes Powys Wales
Llanidloes Museum
of Local History and Industry was established in 1930 within the town's
old Market Hall, a Grade I listed, timber building and the only example
surviving on its original site in Wales. In 1993 it was decided to
separate the museum
collections from their venue in order to preserve the building itself
and to meet the standards of collection care, access and interpretation
for the artefacts. <br><br>In 1995 the museum
reopened in a new site within the ground floor of the Town Hall. This
is a Grade 2 listed building, dating from 1907, situated on the main
street and the natural venue for the local museum. <br><br>In the year 2000, thanks to the generosity of Llanidloes Town Council the Museum
was able to take over an extra room within the Town Hall thus doubling
its size. A grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and partnership funding
from Kite Country and Powys County Council enabled the Museum
to expand and improve its displays and make a larger proportion of the
collections accessible to the visitor. The new, refurbished museum opened on the 30th May 2001.<br><br>
The new Museum layout is
divided into logical sections reflecting the nature and type of the
collections. In the entrance hall the visitors will find up-to-date
material about other attractions in the area and similar information.
The area will also be used for small temporary displays as well as for
education purposes.
