An underpass in the village of Llangennech in Llanelli has been covered with eye-catching murals, including one of one of the area's favourite sons. BBC newsreader Huw Edwards, the village church, Llangennech FC's crest, Morlais river, Llangennech Cricket Club's crest, Morlais colliery and miner, Llangennech Rugby team's logo, a steam train and a huge name of the village are all part of the project.
It is the work of local artist Steve 'Jenks' Jenkins, who has become renowned for his stunning work in the area, including a tribute to Her Majesty The Queen and an incredIble tribute to Wales’ mining history in Cefneithin. He had the help of artist Thew Creative for the Llangennech project.
The work was a year in the making, with research carried out into materials and topics to use. It came after councillor Gwyneth Thomas approached Mr Jenkins to ask for his help in freshening up a local underpass that had previously been painted by a graffiti artist with a group from a youth club, but was now looking worn 15 years later.
