Carmarthen Bay Power Station was built on the north shore of the Burry estuary, occupying some 220 acres. Work started on its construction in April 1947, power was first generated on 28 June 1953. At this time the plant employed around 500 people and during its 31 years of operation the three stacks became a local landmark. The Power station ceased generating power in 1984, and was demolished in the early 1990s.
