Swansea Stations

Post by RichardHC »

Can anyone point me in the direction of any photographs of the Rhondda & Swansea Bay Railway station at Swansea variously called Swansea South and Swansea Riverside. I am aware of the photographs of this station in the Middleton Press book Branch Lines around Swansea but I would like to find any photographs prior to closure of the station in 1933 or any other photographs not in the Middleton book.

On the same subject of Swansea stations I would like to obtain information on the wartime bomb damage to railways and stations in Swansea. I believe that Swansea Victoria was hit but what about Swansea (High Street), Swansea (St Thomas) and the Swansea and Mumbles railway? Are there any books or other published information on this?

The area of St, Thomas was hit but so far as I have been able to find out, the station was not - which is a pity in some ways because it was a collection of very ramshackle buildings.
