This combined Bus Stop Shelter and Public Convenience (Ladies to the left, Gents to the right) has a plaque recording that it was opened by Cllr J E Davies of the Newcastle Emlyn Rural District Council in 1974. 1974 is a significant date as it is the year that the Newcastle Emlyn Rural District Council was abolished as part of the local government reorganisation of that year. This shelter would have been provided as a permanent reminder of what rural communities will have lost when the large County of Dyfed was created with its lack of any true local focus. It is also a memorial that the RDC was probably blowed if it was going to have any cash reserves to pass on to the successor Authority, and so probably a number of small scale projects will have been funded for completion in early 1974 of which this would have been one.
