Red Roses (Welsh: Rhos-goch, "red moor") is a village in Carmarthenshire, Wales.
General information
Situated in south-west Carmarthenshire, bordering with Pembrokeshire, it forms part of the Eglwyscummin Community area with Ciffig and Marros which in turn forms part of the Laugharne Township ward. The village is situated around the main route to south Pembrokeshire, the A477, and the B4314 which is one of the main routes to the once popular holiday resort of Pendine.
History and local amenities
Surrounded by farming land, the village is near to a number of holiday destinations and has two caravan parks.[1] The local young farmers group were instrumental in creating a memorial garden resiting the memorial stone that lay very close to the main trunk road. A community centre, built in 2008, now occupies the site where an old Methodist Chapel lay abandoned for some time. The local public house - the Sporting Chance, which at one time was named Llwyngwair Arms has been closed since early March 2014.
Roads
The village is centred on the crossing of the original but now de-listed A477 and B4314 roads. The crossroads was once a major accident black spot but numbers were reduced when a 40 mph speed limit and an anti skid road surface were added. The building of a by-pass diverting the A477 around the Village, previously earmarked over many years, started in 2012 [2] and was opened on 16 April 2014.[3][4]
