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 and Romans, through early Welsh history to the coming of the Normans and the loss of Welsh independence.

The beginnings of Llanelli centred around the Parish Church and we see the influence of three landed families, the Vaughans, the Stepneys and 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.

Stylish slides - wish they were a little more comfortable
Size: 7, Color: Perfect Black/Gold
The Tory Burch buckle slides are very stylish and look great with almost any casual outfit. The overall design is cute and polished enough to dress up simple looks, which is why I plan to bring them on vacation. That said, the plastic buckle on top is a bit stiff, which affected comfort for me. I wouldn’t recommend them for a lot of walking, as my feet started to feel uncomfortable fairly quickly. Comfort-wise, I would rate these around a 5 out of 10. Overall, they’re a nice option for short outings, lounging, or occasions where style matters more than all-day comfort.

Size: Medium, Color: Dark Cappuccino
The dark cappuccino brown is pretty. This is a favorite just because of the color of the tote. The inside lining color makes it easy to find items. I like it so much I ordered the black one.
