Llanelli Walk: Town Centre【4K】

Located in the county of Carmarthenshire, and around 10 miles west, and slightly north, of Swansea, is the town of Llanelli. The name 'Llanelli' is Welsh for 'church of St Elli', in reference to a 6th century saint named St Elli who was a child or grandchild of King Brychan of Brycheiniog - an early post-Roman era kingdom in South Wales. The spelling was anglicised as 'Llanelly' up until 1966 after a successful public campaign to spell it in its Welsh form. Llanelli grew to prominence in the late 18th century when it became the centre for lead, copper and the tinplate industry. By the latter half of the 19th century it became known as 'Tinopolis' due to the significance of its tin production. Due to its location on the fringe of the South Wales Coal Field, Llanelli played an important role in industry, exporting coal through three small docks along with the copper and tin produced within the town itself. Much of the town's architecture reflects the period in which it grew, including the Victorian town hall, which was built in 1896. In 1904, Thomas Morris Davies, along with his brother Walter, invented the Stepney Spare Wheel in Llanelli. Their company, Stepney Tyres Ltd moved from Stepney Street in Llanelli to Walthamstow in East London in 1909. Many businesses adopted their idea and eventually all car manufacturers began to provide spare wheels with their cars. Around the mid-20th century Llanelli was known as the largest town in the world where more than half the population spoke a Celtic language. The town also lays claim to being the site of the first purpose-built supermarket in Wales, from when a Co-op opened on Market Street in 1958. 👇 SUBSCRIBE TO 4K EXPLORER FOR NEW VIDEOS EVERY WEEK 👇 https://www.youtube.com/4KExplorer?su...
