John Edwards has written the first-ever comprehensive history of Llanelli. Originally written in Welsh, it was commissioned by Carmarthenshire County Council as a gift to the National Eisteddfod 2000 at Llanelli.
The story takes us from the Ice Age to the dawning of the Third Millennium. The first thousand years or so follow the fortunes of the Celts & Romans, through early Welsh history to the coming of the Normans & the loss of Welsh independence.
The beginnings of Llanelli centred around the Parish Church & we see the influence of three landed families, the Vaughans, the Stepneys & the Mansels, in the development of the town. From the mid-19th century, it is the production of tinplate which takes pride of place, making Llanelli's tinplate production the largest of any town in the world.
The second part of the 20th century sees the demise of heavy industry with Llanelli facing up to a new future based on tourism.
