Swansea Hihg Street Goods

[ianwales]

Hi all

 

On the right hand side of the line going into Swansea High Street there used to be a large goods shed, there is a photograph in the Vol 4 of the South Wales Main Line- Bridgend to Swansea, does anyone know when did this yard and shed close, did it survive the track rationalisation when the panel box took over in 1973?

Some of Hafod Yard was definitely still there and in traffic use when I was at Swansea at the back end of 1973; the man of the house where I lodged was a Checker there.
