Scarlet FM was an Independent Local Radio station, serving Llanelli, Burry Port, Pembrey and south Carmarthenshire, owned and operated by Town and Country Broadcasting (now Nation Broadcasting). Originally broadcast as a separate station from the Foothold Centre in the Stebonheath area of Llanelli, the station later moved to studios in Narberth in neighbouring Pembrokeshire. After a period of dual-branding, the Llanelli frequency now carries all programming and branding from Radio Carmarthenshire and the rest of the Nation Broadcasting network of local stations, including countywide news, travel and community information, alongside chart music from the 1980s to the present day.

Church of All Saints, Llanelli
Church of All Saints, Llanelli

The Church of All Saints is a former Anglican parish church in the town of Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It was built in 1872 and is located in Heol Goring. It was designated a Grade II-listed building on 3 December 1992, and was reported to be closed in March 2011 due to electrical defects. At the time this church was built, the amount of funds available was the determining factor when deciding on the architectural style to be used when building a new place of worship; the richer the congregation, the more ornate the church. Most churches cost somewhere between £1000 and £2000 to erect, but the Church of All Saints, Llanelli was estimated to cost £4,800 when it was built in 1872, the architect being George Edmund Street of London. Additional sums were spent in 1887 when the west end was completed according to the original plans. The exterior is built with brown rock-faced rubble-stone with Bath stone dressings, and the roof is clad with green slates and terracotta ridge tiles. Besides the "exceptionally fine 5-light stained-glass east window" there is another fine window in the south aisle.The church was designated a Grade II listed building on 3 December 1992, and has a richly decorated interior with heavily carved reredos, and fine stained-glass windows. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales curates the archaeological, architectural and historic records for this church. These include digital photographs of the exterior and interior, colour transparencies and black and white postcards. In March 2011, the church was closed because of electrical problems. The Church in Wales took the decision not to repair the electrics but instead to sell the church and invest the proceeds in other churches in the town.

Zion Baptist Chapel, Llanelli

Zion or Seion Baptist Chapel is a Baptist chapel in the town of Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It was built in 1857 and is located at Island Place, close to the junction of Water Street with Upper Park Street. The church was founded in 1831, before the erection of the present building. The congregation selected David Bowen, to be its pastor, a position he held until his death in 1853.Zion Baptist Chapel was erected at a time when Llanelli had become a significant regional producer of tinplate and steel and the population was growing strongly and needed more buildings in which to worship. The building was designed by Henry Rogers and erected in 1857. It is the largest of the Baptist chapels in the town and has a three-bay façade with arched upper windows and a timber-pedimented porch. There are giant pilasters in greyish-brown local stone contrasting with ornamentations in brown sandstone. Inside the chapel is a large open space with galleries on all four sides, the organ gallery having been added in 1929. The congregation occupies box pews, some of which are tucked up under the galleries. Two schoolrooms dating from 1913 and built by William Griffiths adjoin the chapel.The chapel was designated as a Grade II-listed building on 3 December 1992, as "a fine example of classical tradition in chapel building and one of a series of similar Baptist chapels in Llanelli". The listing includes the railings that face onto the street. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales curates the archaeological, architectural and historic records for this church. These include digital photographs, a black and white postcard, transparencies and RCAHMW Digital Survey Archives.
