Disused staff accommodation at former Saint David's Mental Hospital

The "Nurses' Home" is a 3-storey building down on the south edge of the former hospital. Whilst most of the other old wards and buildings have been repurposed as office space, the 70 or 80 dormitories in this block have remained empty for decades. The boarded-up building only ever sees occasional use as a training location for police dogs.

This village extends for about a kilometre down this road almost to the outskirts of Carmarthen. The estate on the left contains the only side-street. This is the northern point on the bus route: the bus turned around and went back down to Carmarthen.
