Built in 1834 on the site of an 18th century mill, Bridgend Flannel Mill was the last mill in Llanidloes to close.
It made use of water power with carding machines below and looms and spinning machines on the upper floors.
See photo of the river side of the mill Link where all three floors are apparent.
Poor working conditions and periodic depression in the industry, gave rise to Chartist riots in Llanidloes in 1839 which resulted in the imprisonment and in three instances the transportation of those held guilty of fomenting the disturbances.
The building, once used as a boys club, has now been converted into apartments.
