Bronwydd Arms
(1861 - 1965)


Although Bronwydd Arms Station served the village of Bronwydd, it took its name from the nearby pub which predated the village.

The station was not ready when the Carmarthen to Newcastle Emlyn line opened with a temporary terminus at Conwil on September 1860, and it first appeared in company timetables in October 1861

The station had a single platform on the up side of the line with very modest facilities which included a small brick and timber building with a hipped slate roof which overhung the front of the building to form a canopy. The building contained the booking office, waiting room, and a gents' toilet. The ladies’ toilet was in a separate slate-roofed building nearby

There was a goods loop with two short sidings opposite the platform. The small goods yard handled general goods, parcels and livestock

After closure to passengers in 1965, the station buildings were demolished, although the line remained open for milk traffic until early 1973. The goods yard had closed in December 1963
