Ruin of former stores at Cnap Llwyd

Only 2 corners of masonry remain from this building high on wasteland. This is the view south out to Swansea Bay.

The odd corner ruins look like mysterious towers from a distance.

Former Cockett railway station

The line from Llanelli to Swansea is very much still in use but Cockett station has almost disappeared. This is the view looking east from the road bridge on station road towards Swansea central. The kerbstones on the platform edge can still be seen running from the bottom left of shot nearly all the way up to Cockett tunnel. Most of the platform and its access are now grassed over but the path down to the platform can still be made out coming in on the left side. Cockett tunnel, which is also pictured, collapsed in 1899 but survived the Luftwaffe's heavy bombing in world war two. The collapse was thought to be due to mine work below it.

Construction in Fforestfach Estate

Corporation Road in Swansea's Fforestfach industrial estate runs through undeveloped land. Access to the road has been blocked off with huge boulders and concrete blocks. On the maps the road has many junctions leaving it that go nowhere. It must have been created with the intention of extending the estate. New signs are in place, directing visitors as if the road were already open. This is the view southwest from one of dead end junctions, across the wastelends to where construction has started.
