I believe that this image is mis-labelled. Other images of this building refer to it as Johnson's factory in Carmarthen, it certainly is not Newcastle Emlyn workhouse!

Thank you S Oliver for pointing out our error. This has now been corrected. At Newcastle Emlyn, a cheese factory was established in the former town workhouse in 1920, there are similar aerial images of this workhouse when it was a cheese factory, this is possibly why the mistake was made.
