Former Cynheidre Colliery Site, Cynheidre, Llanelli, Cynheidre ,
Who are we? The LMMR Company Ltd. was incorporated on the 15th April 1999 as a non-profit making company limited by guarantee (with no remuneration paid to its Directors). The primary objective of the Company is to reinstate a railway on this historic line which is recognised as Britain's first operating public railway authorised by the Act of Parliament in 1802 and which began traffic in May 1803 as the Carmarthenshire Tramroad. A heritage centre will also interpret the history of coal mining in the area and in particular the industry which the railway served.What does the Company Plan To Do? Our scheme is utilising derelict land on the site of the former colliery at Cynheidre which is completely owned by the LMMR outright. In the long-term the railway, which closed to rail traffic in 1989 will be re-instated where possible.
