I never knew
Llanelli in its industrial days so I am ignorant of the real contrast
between now and those days past when industry came right down
to the sea front. Swansea was world famous for its production
of copper while Llanelli was world famous for the manufacture
of tin. It was, and still is, known fondly as Tinopolis.
But things have changed on the sea front now, the leaning is towards
leisure and seaside living. Wales was the first country in the
world to have a complete coastal path stretching from Chepstow
all the way to the Flintshire/Cheshire border. The stretch between
Llanelli and Pembrey is very easy and very pleasurable - if you
are near this area it would be well worth paying a visit and seeing
for yourselves.
