Llanfyllin Union Workhouse

Built by the County Surveyor, Thomas Penson, in 1838, it is a large complex of buildings with an impressive main elevation and a significant example of its type.

A Building Preservation Trust owns the building and there has been a lot of local support for finding a good reuse; however the building's isolated rural setting has worked against it and, with funding doubtful, the future of the building looks increasingly doubtful.

Trustees fear that, unless substantial money is found, they may have to put the building back on the market to take its chance.
