Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Strand, Swansea
The Strand, Swansea

This 1998 view shows the Strand from the former Strand Metals depot. The Parc Tawe retail complex is to the left. Just beyond Strand Metals on the same side of the road stood the former George Bros removals and storage warehouse.

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 exactly straightforward either. 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.
