In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Llandinam like this:

The village stands on the river Severn, adjacent to the Oswestry, Welshpool, and Llanidloes railway, 5¾ miles NE by N of Llanidloes; is romantically situated on the brink of a cliff overhanging the river, and at the foot of the Llandinam mountains; and has a station on the railway and a head post office, designated Llandinam, Montgomeryshire. The parish contains also the townships of Carned, Dethynydd, Eskirnaen, Gwernerin, Hengynwydd, Maesmawr, Rhydfaes, and Trewythan. ...
