The Greyhound Pub in Llangunllo - probably about 1970 or so.
The tower of St. Cynllo's church. The date is unknown but we are going to try and get an approximate date by looking at the tombstones. Quite a few more have been added over the years.

This is the Llangunllo Train Station in 2010. The line is still in operation and the trains run from Swansea to Shrewsbury several times a day.
This is the old mill in the village. It is now a private residence and the wheel is no longer there. However, you can still see traces of the mill race if you look carefully.
