From the administrative point of view, at the start of the 19th century Neyland was a village on the outskirts of the parish of Llanstadwell. One hundred years later, Llanstadwell was an area within the Urban District of Neyland. This shift in priority took place because of the status that Neyland had acquired as a transfer point between two forms of mechanised travel: overland by rail, and over the sea by steamship. In contrast, at the turn of the 20th century, travel by road was still horse-drawn and slow. In this section we will look at the local evolution of these three different modes of transport.
