Delving into a town that rests on several borders within its country, this lively and engaging account takes a closer look at the fascinating Welsh town of Llanelli. From how to pronounce the village's name to how a small place in rural Carmarthenshire became a European center for iron, steel, and tinplate, this investigation examines Llanelli's industrial heritage as well as its residue today, through its eventual decline and, finally, its transformation into a place of leisure. Portraying the people of Llanelli--steelworkers, farmers, professional and amateur sportsmen, artists and writers, and the small local bourgeoisie--this study also touches on the famous citizens who may have left the town but still carry a part of it in them. Addressing a complex cultural identity that is embraced by an almost tribal people, this entertaining exploration reveals fresh insights into a locale full of delightful stories.
