Ferryside
Ferryside is a town in the community of St Ishmael, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is 8.5 miles (13.7 kilometres) south of Carmarthen near the mouth of the River Tywi. Originally a ferry crossing, then ending up being a fishing village, it has actually created as a holiday and retirement location. The town has its very own lifeboat terminal and was the very first town in the UK to change from analogue to electronic tv. Coming from as a landing-place on the ferry path to Llansteffan (the ferryboat was used by Giraldus Cambrensis in 1188), Ferryside developed as a fishing town. In 1844 the population of the parish was 895. Much of the village developed after 1852, when it ended up being linked to Carmarthen and also Swansea by Isambard Kingdom Brunel's South Wales Railway.
