Llanelli Station

Llanelli station on the "South Wales" line, one of the only lines to have survived the cull of the railways in the 1950s. This is the mainline to London (via Swansea) and is also part of the "Heart Of Wales" line to Shrewsbury, which also runs from Swansea.

Pen-Y-Fan, Llanelli

The area of Pen-Y-Fan used to be a large estate of council houses, however most of the houses are today owned by their occupiers.

Pointless kissing gate

There were three identical kissing kates is sequence along the main path here. today, they seem utterly pointless, but there was some evidence of some form of boundary there at one time. Years ago, I'm told that this area was known as Rocky Path - but these days the path is paved and a recognised cycle route.

Footbridge over the West Wales railway line

With a children's park and several public footpaths converging nearby, you get the impression they REALLY don't want people trespassing on the railway line around here.

Park near Bigyn School

Superb views over Llanelli. My mother was a pupil at the old Victorian Bigyn school in the late 40's early 50's and remembers the landscape below being very different. Everywhere you looked there were industrial chimney stacks to remind you of what an industrial town looked like. Times change.

Bikes at the station

Bicycle racks for Swansea commuters. The station is mostly unstaffed.

Parc y Scarlets

This is the brand new stadium, Parc Y Scarlets, the new home for The Scarlets rugby team and Llanelli's Rugby Football Team. Taken only 4 days before the first match is to be played there against Cardiff RFC. Unlike most modern new stadiums, the management resisted corporate sponsorship in naming the stadium, electing to name the stadium after Llanelli RFC's nickname. The Scarlets and Llanelli Rugby Football Club are now 2 distinct teams, though they both bear the same historic root.

Down Prendergast Street

Running parallel with Bigyn Hill. Numbers 8 to 14 visible on the left. Stradey Woods visible in the far distance. The name Prendergast is Flemish in origin and is believed to come from the 'lost' Norman/Flemish village of Brontegeest. It came to Britain with a follower of Duke William after the conquest who was given lands near Haverfordwest.

New development at Parc Trostre

M+S - one of many big names that have followed the national trend of vacating the town centres without a backward glance. Parc Trostre is the new Llanelli. Luckily the 'old' Llanelli seems to be holding strong, but has definitely acquired a slightly different feel since the exodus took hold.
