Derelict Bridge over Loughor
This bridge used to continue Shand's Road towards Llandybie, however years of neglect have now rendered it quite derelict and dangerous to cross. The road was once a mineral railway line (part of the Mountain Branch from the Mid Wales line) but in the late 1960s, a road was built to allow private access to opencast workings. Since the opencasts have now long gone, the road is now abandoned. It can be followed (from the other side of the bridge) all the way to just outside Llandybie where it would have crossed the B4556 into the now landscaped opencast workings.

Derelict Railway Bridge
A derelict railway bridge is one of the only signs left that a railway used to run along this route. Not part of the main railway itself, which ran along the course occupied today by a private road, this bridge served a short siding used by the nearby tinplate works and mines.

Derelict Vehicles on Shand's Road
There are quite a few derelict vehicles parked along this stretch of Shand's Road, a private mineral road built along the course of an old railway branch. The vehicles are probably part of the large scrap yard that now occupies the old tinplate works, just beyond.

Station Road houses, Ammanford
HEOL-YR-ORSAF is more prominent than STATION ROAD in the bilingual street name sign.
After a few hours in Pontarddulais in the City and County of Swansea earlier in the day, I noticed the greater prominence given to the Welsh language in Ammanford in Carmarthenshire. In the 2001 Census, 75% of the population in Ammanford stated that they were competent in the Welsh language.
