Hi discwizard,

Wasn't this one in Carmarthen the one you were looking for?

Cheers,

I reckon Cwmme Ucha might be the name of the farm rather than a placename. Cwmme looks like an old or maybe anglicised spelling of cwm which is a Welsh word for valley. Ucha means upper or higher.

You can see St Peters, Carmarthen on google maps which should give a rough idea where it is/was.

Cheers,
