Glanamman, Wales
Glanamman ( cy, Glanaman) is a Welsh mining village in the valley of the River Amman in Carmarthenshire. Glanamman has long been a stronghold of the Welsh language; village life is largely conducted in Welsh.

Mining appears to have started at Brynlloi in 1757 and small coal workings proliferated in the first half of the 19th century.
