Historic discovery

A rare copy of a newspaper dating from 1889 is making the headlines again after being rediscovered in a clear-out.

Irfon Phillips rescued the old Llanelly and County Guardian from the tip when it was brought down from the attic.

At just four pages long and selling for one old penny, the Llanelli Star picked up the story this week.

The Star revealed the old paper covered the news in and around the town, concentrating on the Kidwelly area.

Irfon told the Star: “I used to have a skip hire business and I was clearing out an old house and came across this newspaper.

“It’s a very good find.”
