A MAIN feature of cities, towns and villages is the structures that make up the area.

Over the years, buildings are built, changed significantly or even demolished and replaced with something new and we all tend to remember what used to be in place of a current building.

Here we delve into the South Wales Guardian archives to find some pictures of old buildings across the Amman, Gwendraeth and Towy Valleys.
