Ferryside
Ferryside is a village in the area of St Ishmael, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is 8.5 miles (13.7 km) south of Carmarthen near the mouth of the River Tywi. Initially a ferry going across, after that ending up being a fishing town, it has actually developed as a vacation and also retired life area. The village has its own lifeboat station and was the very first town in the UK to switch over from analogue to electronic tv. Originating as a landing-place on the ferryboat path to Llansteffan (the ferry was utilized by Giraldus Cambrensis in 1188), Ferryside developed as an angling town. In 1844 the population of the parish was 895. Much of the village developed after 1852, when it ended up being connected to Carmarthen and Swansea by Isambard Kingdom Brunel's South Wales Railway.
