Dist:0.5km<br/>This is a building in the administrative quarter of the university - the old Singleton Abbey. This page http://www.swanseaheritage.net/article/gat.asp?ARTICLE_ID=66&PRIMARY_THEME_ID=6 suggests that it contains an older octagonal building called Marino, three sides of which are still visible on the exterior.
If this is a photo of Marino then the roof has been modified with extra windows and the corners of the octagon have had columns added. The different window heights and positions in the sections either side of the centre portion would seem to go along with the idea of an original building being extended.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This is the Oystermouth Road, between Swansea and the Mumbles. The entrance to Swansea University is the junction on the left. And the cycle track (which was a railway years ago) is on the right.

Dist:0.8km<br/>An area of hotels and B&Bs facing the sands on Swansea Bay. The hotels will get a fair amount of passing trade from this busy road. In the distance is the new high rise apartment block at South Dock in the rejuvenated Maritime Quarter.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The park is very a traditional one (it dates from 1874) and on a dull autumn afternoon not very cheerful in appearance. It lies only a stone's throw from Dylan Thomas's childhood home and in later life he described it thus

"that small, iron-railed universe of rockery, gravel-path, playbank, bowling-green, bandstand reservoir, chrysanthemum garden, �..in the grass one must keep off, I endured, with pleasure, the first agonies of unrequited love, the first slow boiling in the belly of a bad poem, the strutting and raven-locked self-dramatization of what, at that time seemed incurable adolescence."

Dist:0.8km<br/>One of many parks in Swansea suburbs. There is a raised bank on the north boundary with paths under trees and lower flat areas with playgrounds and fields.
