Llandovery is a town of just over 2,000 people in Carmarthenshire in west Wales.

It is known mainly for the private school in the town Llandovery College which has a produced a significant number of Welsh international rugby stars.

In the centre of the town is Llandovery Town Hall.

In a small market place in the centre of Llandovery is Llandovery Town Hall (1857-8) by the architect Richard Kyke Penson. There is a courtroom over an open market, in an Italianate style. The building has two storeys with open arcades. At the rear are police cells with iron grilles and entry to the courtroom (now used as a library) under a clock tower.

The Town Hall building also houses Llandovery Library :

To the left of the Town Hall in the photo is one of the major banks now closed and up for sale.

Banks are being closed at an alarming rate in rural Wales. Most towns will no longer have any banks at all by the end of 2018.
