About

Ammanford ward encompasses the town of Ammanford and its immediate surrounding residential areas in the Dyffryn Aman valley. The area is primarily residential, with some local commercial activity focused along the main streets and a small industrial estate. The landscape is shaped by the River Amman, which flows through the community, and the nearby presence of the Black Mountain range to the east provides a distinct backdrop to the town.

The ward's history is closely linked to the anthracite coal mining industry, which dominated the local economy for much of the 20th century. This industrial heritage is reflected in the town's layout and architecture. A notable local feature is the former Ammanford No. 1 Colliery site, which has been reclaimed and now forms part of the town's recreational and community space, marking a transition from its past industrial use.
