Post Office Directory 1866

Only a selection of the entries for Clergy, Gentry and Residences has been included

This Post Office Directory of Glamorganshire includes Llanelli even though the town was in the county of Carmarthen. This was said to be at the express request of local Gentry and Businessmen who specifically asked to be included in the Glamorganshire section of the Postal Office Directory for Bristol, Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire published in 1866.

One point to note is the reference to William Rosser Esq. Civil Engineer who surveyed the coalfield and confidently calculated that the coal resources would last for 1790½ years. Unless the ½ was a misprint, his calculations must have been very meticulous.

General Information

The town of late years has greatly increased in importance as regards it commerce and population, and improved in its appearance.

Mineral Resources

It is from the vast mineral resources of the anthracite district of Carmarthenshire that Llanelly has derived a large share of its prosperity in the past and it is to its vast greater development in the future that it must look for its rise to a status of far greater importance as a port and commercial town than it has ever yet attained.

Local Government

The government of the town for sanitary purposes is vested in the ‘Local Government Board’ or ‘Board of Health.’ Since this body has been in power many of the old houses have been removed and handsome new ones, with ranges of well-stocked shops, have been erected. The town now presents a neat and busy appearance.

Gas

It is lighted with gas by an incorporated company, with a capital of £5,000, the works being situated in Murray Street, Edward Bagot, Civil Engineer, Manager, living at Bradbury Hall.

Water

There is a plentiful supply of water, obtained from a reservoir about a mile from the town on the Carmarthen Road.

Railway

The town has direct communication with the metropolis by the Great Western Railway, being a station on the direct route from London to Milford and then by packet to Ireland. Station Master Mr Still Wilson.

It is the terminus of the Llanelly Railway & Dock Company, whose line extends to Llandilo, then by the Vale of Towy Railway to Llandovery. This was established in 1828 for the formation of the docks as well as a railway about two and a quarter miles in length, to connect them with the Llangennech collieries. Station Master Mr Benjamin Taylor.

A branch line of railway is in progress from Pontardulais to Swansea, which will connect the Llanelly Railway with the Port of Swansea and Vale of Neath Railways.

The Central Wales Railway will connect with the Vale of Towy Railway at Llandovery and when completed will form direct railway communication (via Craven Arms and Shrewsbury) to the Midland and northern counties of England.

In 1864 an act was passed to construct a line from the Mynydd Mawr and Gwendraeth Valley to the town and port of Llanelly. For its whole length it traverses the coal formation and its object is to bring the minerals to Llanelly for shipment.

In 1865 an application was made to convert the Gwendraeth Canal into a railway; also an application by the Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway Company to construct a mixed gauge through the Gwendraeth Valley.

Docks

There are four docks at Llanelly where ships load and discharge their cargoes.

The New Dock is a floating dock, about three acres in extent. It will accommodate ships of 19 feet draught of water; the entrance gates are 33 feet wide. It is situated at the terminus of the Llanelly

Railway and Dock Company’s Railway, and is well furnished with the means of loading and discharging ships with dispatch.

The Copper Works Dock is a floating dock, about an acre and three quarters in extent, adapted to vessels of 17 feet draught of water; the entrance gates are 31 feet wide. There is a railway communication between this dock and the new dock.

The Lead Works or Pemberton Dock has a good layerage and every convenience for loading and discharging cargoes.

The Carmarthenshire Dock has a smooth paved or pitched bottom, where vessels lie dry at low water and the east side is adapted for the discharge of general cargoes.

An Act was passed in 1864 authorising the construction of extensive floating docks with sea locks.

There is accommodation at Burry Port four miles west of Llanelly. The dock is about one and a half acres in extent, divided from the sea by one pair of gates. The outer tidal basin is thirteen acres in extent. The dock is capable of admitting vessels of 1,000 tons register.

Llanelly Harbour Is under the control of a body of commissioners.

The Port of Llanelly Is the natural outlet of a district extending on the east to Gower Road, Mynyddbach-y-glo, Mynydd Llieu, Cwmamman and Wauncaegerwen; on the north to the extreme outcrop of the coal measures; and on the west to the Carway Colliery.

Coal

It is calculated by William Rosser, Esq., Civil Engineer, that this district embraces an area of 100 square miles, and the quantity of workable coal which, at a working of 5,000 tons per day, would last 1790½ years.

The coal of this district is of three kinds: Bituminous; Free Burning or Steam Coal; Anthracite or Stone Coal.

The anthracite coal worked in this district and shipped at Llanelly cannot be surpassed in quality. The total quantity of coal shipped from this place in the year 1863 was 335,229 tons; and the quantity of anthracite coal exported in the year 1864 was 111,294 tons.

Large quantities of anthracite coal are exported to France and the Mediterranean, also to the malting and hop districts of England.

Steam coal on the Government list is largely worked and shipped, possessing the rare quality of producing little or no smoke.
