From Efailwen to Whitland Vol 1
Llanboidy parish extends from Llanglydwen and Login to Whitland and within it were many factories with a much varied lifespan.
There was a factory on the Taf near the station. A little over a mile to the east on a tributary of the Taf, and apparently previous to the Login one, was Lanafon, a home from which emerged two eminent men. In the middle of the 19th century, and fairly near to the latter factory, the name Clundedwydd appears as a centre of activity. There Enoc Phillips plied his craft as weaver. Several of his sons worked as weavers in Llanddewi, Amroth and Narberth.
I would be interested to know more about this Phillips family if anyone can help. Just outside my village of Llanteg, in Amroth parish, we have found on the 1871 census:-
Longlane - William Phillips, born Llanboidy (aged 72)
and next door
Watergoch - Enock Phillips, born Llanboidy (aged 74) classed as weaver when he married in 1836.
The 1851 census had:-
Long Lane - Joseph Phillips, 28, weaver, born Ciffig
Factory - William Phillips, 51, born Llanboidy
1841 census:-
Longlane - Enoch Phillips, 40, clothier - not born in Pembrokeshire.
