The Town Hall has served the people of Llanelli as an administrative centre since 1896.
"While carrying out work to replace the roof and repair lead, steel and stonework in the building's clock tower, tradesmen working for council contractor John Weaver found a bundle of inventories listing costs and materials for the build of 'housing for the working classes' dating back to 1920. They include detailed information relating to the construction of several cottages and houses in the town's Llanerch area, recorded by George Watkeys, the Borough Surveyor at the time.
They were built to specifications of designs from the Ministry of Health, in accordance with the Housing, Town Planning, etc, Act of 1919." Text Source: (
