Welshpool's Market House is shown by Humphrey Bleaze's 1629 map of the town to have once occupied the centre of Broad Street, to the west of The Cross. Following the collapse of the hall's upper floor in 1758 the building was torn down in 1761. The building took the form of a traditional market hall (forexample, that at Llanidloes, nprn 32039), with an upper in room in which the Court of the Great Sessions was heard, and an open market area beneath, in which the thriving flannel market took place.
