There were many coal mines around Ammanford, some of them were large enough to get a train inside.
In the following video made by a local miner, the inside of the mine can be seen.
Although the mines did come very close to Ammanford, I cannot find any record of mines traveling underneath Ammanford.
The mines tended to run up the Amman valley.
In days gone by, Ammanford used to have two underground toilets near the bus station in College Street.
Those toilets would have been across the road from my former house.
Ammanford had a World War 2 shelter on the corner of College Street and Margaret Street, and another World War 2 shelter in College street itself.

The former police station and courthouse was located on the corner of
College Street and Margaret Street before it was demolished.
The building was said to have 3 holding cells.
Loud noises were heard from the property at 22 College Street, Ammanford.
The noises sounded like a demolition hammer or an air chisel.
I used to joke that they were tunnelling to the bank that used to be across the road.
At times, the alleyway between my former house and 22 College Street would literally shake.
Plaster would fall from the walls of 22 College Street.
The people at 24 College Street also heard the noises.
The plaster on one of the interior walls of 24 College Street fell from the wall during one session of drilling.
Cracks appeared in the alleyway between 20 and 22 College Street.
The owners of 22 College Street denied they ever used any such tools at the property.
The damage can be seen in this video.
This short 3-minute extract shows the cracks in the wall.
