Swansea

Description

Post-war aerial view showing the extent of the wartime destruction of Swansea's town centre
Personal Memories:
44 Acres devastation
837 Shops/Business Premises Destroyed
387 People Killed
The Nissan huts erected for buisnesses to continue trading - are just below centre left - with curved rooves. I remember them still there in the early 1950's. We parked on cleared land - where there were still signs of rubble.
This gives a very good image of the extent of the damage. (Katryn Jones)
