NOSTALGIA is an important part in the lives of many people.

Whether it is providing a trip down memory lane, explaining events of the past or just remembering the good times in life, we all tend to look to the past occasionally.

Here we take a look back at some older images of events and people in Ammanford. Do you recognise anyone?

If you have any images of the Amman Valley or Carmarthenshire in days gone by, let us know by sending them to community@swguardian.co.uk and feel free to join our nostalgia group here.
