I have taken a tour around Penclawdd and I have identified some of the features shown in the photo. The photo is taken looking west. It is interesting that the Police Station was only built in 1926 and the building is still there.

Yes it's Pen-clawdd, looking down on the old site where the chimney is, of the now long gone Tin Plate Works & Lead & Silver Works.

Found it! It's Pen-clawdd, across the estuary from Llanelli. The railway is disused and mostly disappeared, the chimney gone and the estuary largely silted up, but it's definitely the same place. The steeple belongs to the Tabernacle church.

I don't think it's Ferryside because the curvature of the railway doesn't appear to be right. Having said that I have tried and better tried but I can't get this one.

I think it's Ferryside, photographed from North.

Estuary town. Shadows point right, so if morning, photo points southwest. Later in day? possibly west coast. Railway seems to reduce to single track under plane.
