One of Llanelli's more historic buildings, the Stepney Hotel, on the corner of Park Street is scheduled for imminent demolition. Originally built in 1761, the current building’s structure is believed to date from the 1850s or earlier. Unfortunately, it seems the planning department didn’t realise this building’s significance to the town’s history (or chose to ignore it) and along with other more recent nearby buildings is about to be wiped away in the name of progress. In its last days, the building is no longer a hotel, with many of the upper levels no longer in use. It now houses the Sol Bar (now also closed pending demolition).
