In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Halfway like this:
HALFWAY, a place on the W border of Breconshire; on the road from Brecon to Llandovery, under MynyddBwlch-y-groes, 5 miles ESE of Llandovery. A small obelisk here commemorates an upset of the mail coach over a declivity of 130 feet, resulting in the destruction of the coach, without injury to the coachman or the passengers. The rocks in the vicinity are interesting to geologists.
Halfway is now part of CARMARTHENSHIRE District. Click here for graphs and data of how CARMARTHENSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Halfway itself, go to Statistics.
