Hendrefoilan

The area overlaps northwest Sketty and east Killay communities.

The western part is often known as 'Student Village', which lies on the west bank of the Olchfa Stream, in the suburb of Killay.

The main feature on the campus is Hendrefoelan House, a large private house built in 1853 by William B. Colling for Lewis Llewelyn Dillwyn (1814–92) then the Member of Parliament for Swansea[1] and home for many years to his daughter, the novelist and industrialist Amy Dillwyn.

[3] It also formerly housed the Adult Education Department of Swansea University, but has been boarded up and left derelict.

[6] Aerial photographs on Google Maps, taken the following year, reveal extensive damage to the house, with most of the roof of the main house destroyed and damage to the upper floor.
