This wonderful selection of images, drawn from a number of private and public collections, recalls the people and places that have shaped Llanelli and the surrounding towns and villages over the past one hundred years.
Using over 200 images, Around Llanelli illustrates what life was like for the many varied workers - from tin workers to cockle pickers - who populated the area during the heyday of Welsh industrialism. In addition to the workaday world, the reader is taken on a historical journey around the streets, shops and social events and is introduced to some of the most prominent characters from Llanelli and the surrounding valleys, including pottery workers, fine artists and snooker players.
This book is an important pictorial record of this fascinating area of South Wales, which will delight those who want to know more about its history and evoke memories of a bygone time for those who have lived here.
