LLANELLY

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 830 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LLANELLY , a market town, urban
district
 , and seaport of
Carmarthenshire
 , Wales, situated on the north shore of the broad estuary of the river Loughor (Llwchwr), known as Burry river, which forms an inlet of Carmarthen Bay. Pop. (Igor) 25,617. Llanelly is a station on the
South
  Wales section of the
Great
  Western railway. ' The town is wholly of modern
appearance
 . The
mother
 -church of St Elliw, or Elli (whence the town derives its name) has been practically rebuilt (1go6), but it retains its 13th-century tower and other ancient features of the
original
  fabric. Its situation on a broad estuary and its central position with regard to a neighbourhood
rich
  in coal, iron and limestone, have combined to make Llanelly one of the many important industrial towns of
South
  Wales. Anthracite and steam-coal from the collieries of the
coast
  and along the Loughor Valley are exported from the extensive docks; and there are also large works for the smelting of copper and the manufacture of tin plates.
Llanelly, though an ancient parish and a borough by
prescription
  under a portreeve and burgesses in the old lordship of Kidwelly, remained insignificant until the industrial development in South Wales during the loth century. In 18io the combined population of Llanelly, with its four subsidiary hamlets
of Berwick, Glyn, Hencoed and Westowe, only amounted to 2972; in 1840 the inhabitants of the borough hamlet alone had risen to 4173. Llanelly is now the most populous town in Wales outside the confines of Glamorganshire. In 1832 Llanelly was added as a contributory borough to the Carmarthen parliamentary
district
 .
