One of Wales's most historic buildings located in Llanidloes, has had work restoring and protecting it completed.

The Old Market Hall is a Grade I listed building and sensitive work, overseen by conservation architects Hughes Architects of Newtown, was completed earlier this month, according to Powys County Council.
 
Structural repairs were carried on the historic building which included the use of new technology to strengthen its stability.
 
The project, which was carried out in three phases, was managed by Doug Hughes Architects with LJV Construction Ltd carrying out the repair and strengthening works.
 
Cllr Jake Berriman, Cabinet Member for a Connected Powys, said: “It was important that these works were carried out to ensure that this iconic building is protected for future generations.
 
“This was a difficult project given its location and that repair and redecoration works were needed on each elevation of the building. I’d like to thank our partners Doug Hughes Architects and LJV Construction Ltd for their involvement in this project.
 
“Special thanks must also go to local residents and traders for their patience while the works were carried out to this famous building.”
