Llanidloes, Smithfield Street During the 17th and 18th centuries, weaving and flannel production developed in the town largely as a cottage industry and the local products were sent to market in Shrewsbury. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, Llanidloes was the largest producer in Montgomeryshire. Some of the three storey houses with brick facades of this period would have housed weaving lofts on the upper storey.

Llanidloes, The Old Market Hall The half-timbered Old Market Hall stands at the centre of Llanidloes, at the crossing of the four streets of the original medieval town. Built around 1600, it is the oldest timber-framed market hall, and the only surviving building of this type, in Wales. A weekly market was held on the open cobbled ground floor until well into the twentieth century. It is typical of market halls of the period in most mid-Wales market towns. Over the years the large and well-lit upper floor room has been used as a wool and flannel market, law court, preachers' hall, flannel store, working men's institute and museum. The slate roof, with overhanging eaves, has a glazed octagonal cupola which once contained the bell that was used to ring the curfew. The cupola is topped by a weathervane dated 1738. The building is grade I listed (Cadw building id= 8317 <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://historicwales.gov.uk/files/pdf-listed-building.php?ids=25235&lang=ENG" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://historicwales.gov.uk/files/pdf-listed-building.php?ids=25235&lang=ENG">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> Historic Wales).
