NOSTALGIA allows us to relive memories from years gone by and is usually triggered by hearing or seeing something that reminds us of the topic.

Recently, we’ve been delving into the South Wales Guardian archives to bring you some photos from across the region which could remind you of some great times, people and places.

This week, we take a look at some old photos of people and places in Ammanford in years past, including award winners, sports teams, carnivals, Waspi and much more.

Do you recognise any of these people or places? Or do you remember the events that they were in?
