==Name== ===Spelling=== The anglicised spelling “Llanelly” was used until 1966, when it was changed to Llanelli after a local public campaign. It remains in the name of a local historic building, [[Llanelly House]], and this is sometimes confused with the village and parish of [[Llanelly]], in south-east Wales near [[Abergavenny]]. Llanelly in [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], Australia was named after this town of Llanelli, using the spelling current at that time.<ref>{{Cite web |author1=Kirsty B Carter |author2=Joe Harrison |url=http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20201210-llanelly-an-abandoned-welsh-town-in-australia?referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews |title=Llanelli: An abandoned Welsh town in Australia |publisher=BBC Travel |date=11 December 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |author1=Kirsty B Carter |author2=Joe Harrison |url=https://www.bbc.com/reel/playlist/forgotten-places?vpid=p08nwwhb |title=Forgotten Places: The abandoned Welsh town in the middle of Australia |publisher=BBC reel |date=17 August 2020 |type=video, 5 mins 37 secs}}</ref>
