There is a derelict building next to Lidl Carmarthen.

Not sure if this is the same one, so next time I go I`ll try to see the date on the door.

Aso, by a strange coincidence this appeared this week in the Carmarthen Journal.

I`m unsure as too whether the Workhouse and the Infirmary were in 2 seperate locations

I`m totally wrong ! The workhouse was in Penlan Road. The Infirmary is in Priory Road.

My excuse, I`ve not lived here long !!
