br2975 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 There is a plan of the yard in R.A.Cooke - Swansea - Llandilo (can't recall which number booklet). . The yard appears to have been on the seaward side of Mumbles Road, the other side of the road to the station. . It had two sidings, one adjacent to the (LNWR) running lines, and another that dropped down to join the Swansea & Mumbles - the connection facing Mumbles. . IIRC the connection to the tramway was taken out about 1952. . Brian R . PS I wish I'd known this last week, I was in 'The Woodman' Saturday afternoon - could have combined a site visit !
