So it seems like when asked to the public of their memories of the footbridge in Murray Street Llanelli that everyone remembers visiting Santa, the bridge would go from coop near the market which was the food store across the street to their Living department which was their furniture store.
From the majority of the comments online everyone it seems that Santa was the most popular answer given.
Although there were some different including Lauraine Clarke who bought her wedding dress in 1981.
Barbara Taylor used to work in the footwear department when she was 17/18.
Pamela Hughes remembers going with her mum to choose a 3 piece suite and paying for it with her dividend.
Wendy Williams was the photographer for a photography shop in Swansea, she would be the ones taking photos of children with Santa, best job ever.
Gaynor Goddard remembers waking over to purchase her very first video recorder, which was an exciting day.
Sonia Guest also worked in store.
There are people who just remember just running across the bridge.
Marie Brown worked there from 1970 for 9 years in different departments including the toy department.
Glan Shaw wishes the town wasn’t changed as it was perfect the way it was at the time.
Linda Paine used to clean the footbridge one side to the other with a mop bucket, again so many happy memories.
Sally-Anne Tucker says so many memories, she was not aware the bridge had gone.
So many wonderful memories, with lots more comments with this facebook post
Before the development of Asda and the St Elli shopping centre the road use to be a one way way system which changed once the new development was finished to a two way system.
It definitely changed how things were in Llanelli town centre when this development went ahead, but it’s great that public still have these memories of how town use to be.
