Spigot Mortar Emplacement: DoB ID: e40364

Still guarding the bridge at Llanfyllin, the spigot mortar or "Blacker Bombard" was essentially an anti-tank weapon used almost exclusively by the Home Guard during the Second World War. They were located at strategic locations alongside other defences throughout the country in response to the German invasion threat of 1940.

No. 1 Market Street, Llanfyllin Grade II listed building (8613) on the corner of High Street and Market Street, Llanfyllin. 

Probably early C19 rebuilding of earlier (C16/C17) buildings on site. Formerly 'The Upper Boar In The Net' Inn, and subsequently from circa 1901, 'Llanfyllin Temperance Hotel'. Mock half-timbering added circa 1900 when windows and doors were re-ordered; dormers added circa 1920s.

Narrow Street, Llanfyllin The name seems entirely appropriate; the street is indeed narrow. 'Down to Earth' on the left sells fruit and vegetables.

Former Post Office, Llanfyllin These premises ceased to operate as a post office in 2015 when the service was moved into the nearby Spar convenience store. This meant longer opening hours but something of the old style was inevitably lost.
