B4304 / B4305 Llanelli

Post by rileyrob »

There seems to be an amount of confusion / contradiction surrounding the routes of the B4304 and B4305 in Llanelli.

Code: Select all

B4304	Llanelly (Park Street, Stepney Street, Station Road and New Dock Road)	Park Street & Stepney Street pedestrianised

Is this therefore a rare occurrence of an error in the 1922 list?
