Background
History
Llandinam was the family home of David Davies (1818–1890) who was responsible for much of the development of the South Wales Valleys and the export of coal in the 19th century. His grandson David Davies, 1st Baron Davies FRGS (1880–1944) became MP for Montgomeryshire from 1906 to 1929. The parents of Murray Humphreys (1899–1965), one of Chicago's most feared Prohibition gangsters, emigrated to the United States from the village in the late 1890s. Gordonstoun school was evacuated here for the duration of World War II. The village was served by Llandinam railway station on the Llanidloes and Newtown Railway until its closure in the 1960s.
