Glanamman, Ammanford, SA18 1EQ

Glanamman is a mining village in the valley of the River Amman in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The village has a long history tied to coal mining, with a boom in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The last major colliery closed in 1947, and coal extraction has continued only fitfully since then. Glanamman has a stronghold of the Welsh language, and village life is largely conducted in Welsh. It shares a close relationship with the neighbouring village of Garnant, which experienced a similar mining history. Residents benefit from a tight-knit community atmosphere and a heritage that reflects the region’s industrial past.
