Ferryside
Ferryside is a town in the neighborhood of St Ishmael, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is 8.5 miles (13.7 km) south of Carmarthen near the mouth of the River Tywi. Originally a ferry crossing, then ending up being an angling village, it has actually developed as a vacation as well as retired life location. The village has its very own lifeboat terminal and was the very first town in the UK to switch over from analogue to electronic television. Stemming as a landing-place on the ferry course to Llansteffan (the ferry was used by Giraldus Cambrensis in 1188), Ferryside established as an angling village. In 1844 the population of the parish was 895. Much of the town developed after 1852, when it ended up being linked to Carmarthen and also Swansea by Isambard Kingdom Brunel's South Wales Railway.
