Ferryside
Ferryside is a town in the neighborhood 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 going across, then ending up being a fishing village, it has actually created as a holiday as well as retirement area. The town has its very own lifeboat station and also was the first town in the UK to change from analogue to electronic tv. Originating as a landing-place on the ferryboat route to Llansteffan (the ferryboat was made use of by Giraldus Cambrensis in 1188), Ferryside created as an angling village. In 1844 the population of the parish was 895. Much of the town established after 1852, when it became connected to Carmarthen and Swansea by Isambard Kingdom Brunel's South Wales Railway.
