Dolgwm Stores (old hardware shop) in Llanybydder. Sadly a Grade II Listed Building, due to it being a "former C19 market building, retaining definite architectural character in a prominent position near the centre of the town." A little history below taken from the british listed building website.

 

Built in the third quarter of the C19 as a market hall and shown on the 1891 Ordnance Survey. It was originally open-fronted in the lower storey. In the late C19 it was converted to shops when a bay window was added to the L side, probably for a grocery. The R-hand bay at some time became a butcher''s shop, as it has a typical sash window and marble sill of the late C19. The rear was said to have housed a cobbler''s shop. The second edition of the Ordnance Survey, of 1905, describes the building as the Town Hall, which probably refers to the use of the upper storey. This is said to have subsequently contained snooker tables, when it was used as a workmen''s institute.
