Dist:0.9km<br/>View NE, towards Morriston and Llansamlet, taken from an Up train on the South Wales main line near Landore. Over to the left is the River Tawe. [This was not an easy location to pin-point, so is open to correction, but note the milepost 213.III and the abandoned railway track underneath, which I believe had been a loop, part of the separate ex-Midland Railway complex.]

Dist:0.9km<br/>Just across the road from Morrisons and the old dry ski slope lies this lake. There are paths around it and it is near community woodland. The lake is rumoured to be home to a crocodile or alligator "The Pluck Ness Monster" (!!) but judging by the ducks that are always on it, I doubt that.

Dist:1.0km southeast<br/>This 1998 view shows the ex-GWR 2-8-0T locomotive stabled at one of Swansea Vale Railway's sidings. As of 2011, the loco is undergoing restoration at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway (GWSR). The Swansea Vale Railway originally ran from Swansea St Thomas to Brynamman. It was taken over by the Midland Railway in 1876 and additional through routes were added as a result. Passenger services ceased in 1950 and complete closure took place in the 1960s. By 1985 the only railway here was the section preserved by the SVR Society. In 2007, Swansea Council decided to redevelop the area and by 2010 the preserved railway was itself history, although the society itself lives on.
