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 David zJohn: My great great grandfather ' david John (founder of Felinfoel Brewery)lived in house called Pantglas - is this the house? Supposedly in Westfa hamlet and, possibly mistakenly, mentioned in grounds of Felinfoel Brewery. Lived in Pantglas from 1891 - 1921 according census (wife Joanna John from 1901) Pantglas supposedly a Victorian Terrace near Park Howard? Nice to resolve
