The town has made the headlines recently, when in September the Powys Local Health Board (LHB) announced that it wanted to make cuts at Llanidloes, which would result in the downgrading and even closure of Llanidloes War Memorial Hospital. The proposals have angered some local people, many of whom have formed the Save Llanidloes Hospital Action Group in response.

History Llanidloes was given a charter to hold a market in 1289 but existed at least 400 years before that.
The area around Llanidloes was once very important for the mining of lead and even silver, and the town had a thriving flannel industry. It was also notorious as a focus of industrial unrest during the 19th century Chartist revolt in 1839, a campaign for democratic rights prompted by the collapse of the local textile industry. A movement for social and political reform in the United Kingdom during the mid_19th century, Chartism gains its name from the Peoples Charter of 1838, which set out the main aims of the movement. ...

Llanidloes formerly had a railway station, opened in 1864 by the Llanidloes & Newtown Railway. The station building contained the railway company offices. The building is in the Georgian style and resembles an early 19th century Gentleman's country residence. Closer inspection reveals that the scale has been changed. Imagine the Georgian gentleman to be 10 foot tall and the building is then in perfect Georgian proportion. The Llanidloes and Newtown railway eventually formed part of the Mid Wales line of the Cambrian Railway, linking it with Cardiff, but most of this was closed on 31 December 1962. The Llanidloes by-pass road runs along a section of the former railway, and the station still stands beside this road. It is now restored and occupied by several small businesses. The Mid Wales Railway was a standard gauge railway opened in 1864 as a North-South route serving central Welsh towns including Llanidloes, Rhayader, Builth Wells and Brecon. ...
The Cambrian Railways (Cambrian) owned a total of 230 miles of track, over a large area of mid-Wales. ...
The ancient half-timbered market hall stands at the crossroads of the four streets of the original medieval town. Built around 1600, it is the only surviving building of this type in Wales. Assize courts were held in the hall around 1605, and John Wesley preached from a pulpit stone on the open ground floor in 1748. The Middle Ages formed the middle period in a traditional schematic division of European history into three ages: the classical civilization of Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and modern times. ...
The Courts of Assize, or Assizes, were periodic criminal courts held around England and Wales until 1972, when together with the Quarter Sessions they were abolished by the Courts Act 1971 and replaced by a single permanent Crown Court. ...
