Dist:0.4km<br/>Broadlay House once stood behind the gated wall, one mile south-east of Ferryside in Carmarthenshire. It served briefly as a YHA hostel in 1937-38, but was demolished some time about 1980.

Dist:1.2km northwest<br/>This George V-reign postbox is set into the wall of [[1181866]], and is emptied at 5pm on weekdays and at 11am on Saturdays. The two stickers above the slot are the English and Welsh versions of text explaining that from 28 October 2007, Sunday collections will no longer take place. These appeared on all postboxes on the run-up to that date, those at post offices having received a Sunday collection and those elsewhere having had details of the nearest that was emptied on a Sunday. In any case, the main collection plate, which is bilingual, has been updated to reflect these changes.

Dist:1.2km northwest<br/>The telephone box has a notice inside saying that it is underused and expensive to maintain – and thus threatened with removal. However, I was glad to make use of it, 40p for 20 minutes a bargain in this area where my mobile was unable to receive a signal.
