Welcome to Llandeilo.org
Introduction
Created by local historian Terry Norman and web site developer Andrew Mabbutt, this is the best place on the Web to find out about Llandeilo's history, its people and places, and help you get a feel for this ancient market town, situated at the heart of the lovely Tywi valley.
Out of Print
It is the intention of this website to reproduce useful publications on Llandeilo history, space permitting, which are no longer in print. Local history books rarely have a second printing after the first edition has sold out, so hopefully their appearance on this website may prompt reprints. If not, then at least the new technology of the Internet will give historical material a second life the original authors couldn't have anticipated.
