Christian Temple, High Street
The oldest of Ammanford's many chapels, it was originally built in 1782 but enlarged and rebuilt twice during the 19th century to accommodate expanding congregations - such was the massive popularity of nonconformist religion at that time. Nearby however a working men's college hosted atheists and freethinkers.

This memorial by Howard Bowcott was commissioned in memory of the hundreds of miners who lost their lives in pit disasters or accidents when the coal industry was the major employer in this area. It is composed of layers of slate and sandstone to represent the coalseams; the names of the dead are engraved around it. It was erected in 2006 at the bottom of Quay Street, a busy shopping precinct.

View NE towards the former Ammanford Colliery Halt and Brynamman from a public crossing. The line was only used by freight trains when this image was taken. The current Ammanford station is a short distance away on the Central Wales Line.

Snow covered railway out of Ammanford
This formerly disused mineral line is used to transfer coal from a reopened mine near Tairgwaith. Looks like the train isn't running today though.
Also in shot are the remains of the platform to the left of the track from when Ammanford Station was here, and the practice tower at the fire station in the distance.
