Platform House, Laugharne

On seeing the name of this Clifton Street house, I wondered if it had any connection with a former railway station in Laugharne. Research has not found any such railway station. The nearest one, in St Clears, closed in 1964. The explanation of the house name may simply be that it is built on a platform slightly above road level, though that is not the case for Platform Cottage, its neighbour on the right.
