PANT-GLAS, Bynea, Llanelli 2021
Notes on PANT-GLAS, Bynea, Llanelli 2021
Roadside located but barely visible through the foliage, Pant-Glas on older maps dating from the late 19th century shows the house as one dwelling but once within the mass of foliage it looks more like two separate dwellings; two sets of front doors, no door between the properties. Both dwellings the same size. Perhaps this was once a longhouse and perhaps one of the dwellings had been converted. I do not know but the old maps do not lie. I took a few images, in both parts, but viewpoints were scarce. Half an hour spent. I walked back to car, drove home, arrived back home at 7:30am, still an hour before I started work but already a good mornings work had been done.

By Susan Lowe: There were three cottages. I lived in the end one on left, and then moved into the middle one. I was there with my family in 1963.
It's an interesting story of how we came to he living there.
If you are interested in my family story then please email me.
I also know who lived in the end cottage on the right 🙂 By Tim Reynolds: I am interested in the history of the houses ( pant glas) I knew a couple of the men who lived in the end house - Elwyn and Vic .
