Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Grand Hotel, Swansea Station and Strand Metals, Swansea (geograph 2739633).jpg |
English: The Grand Hotel, Swansea Station and Strand Metals, Swansea This 1997 view shows the rather rundown Grand Hotel in Ivey Place and ex-GWR Swansea Station. A railway turntable was situated on the dead end brick viaduct just to the right of Strand Metals. Until the 1960s this viaduct also had a branch that connected the GWR station to the LNWR services in the area. This brick arch structure ran along The Strand but was demolished in stages during the late 1970s. Strand Metals occupied what was originally a Quaker Meeting House. The Friends Burial Ground is located just to the rear of this building, but is in a poor state of preservation. Public access to this graveyard is not straightforward. There is a lane at the side of the 'Grand Hotel' in Ivey Place opposite the station which leads to the back entrance of some sort of private club, and to railings, on the other side of which is the graveyard. The south side of the graveyard adjoins the side of the old Elysium Buildings, once HQ of the local Labour Party. The Strand Metals building at 79 The Strand (SA1 2AW), was for sale in 2005. It is unlikely to stand much longer due to the ongoing redevelopment in this area. The Grand Hotel, Swansea Station and the brick viaduct continue to stand in 2011. |
