Old Castle Works
Old Castle Works was a tinplate manufacturing facility. It was earmarked for redevelopment as a commercial and leisure site by Carmarthenshire County Council.[3]
In May 2007, an application was made for funding from the Big Lottery Fund. Named "The Works", the development would consist of an open plaza linking the two primary facilities – a cultural centre consisting of an auditorium, TV studio and an art-house cinema and the grade 2 listed tinning shed which would be transformed into a restaurant and craft gallery. "The Works" would act in partnership with Coleg Sir Gâr, a local college, which would have use of the facilities for education purposes.[4]
On 27 October 2007, Carmarthenshire County Council announced that the lottery bid had been unsuccessful, and that other means of funding the development would need to be considered.[5]
Machynys
The 2010s saw the opening of a new estate, Pentre Nicklaus Village. It overlooks the Welsh coast in the Machynys area.[6]
