Mayhill

A water course known as the Washing Lake (or, in Welsh, Nant y Prys) which supplied the town before reservoir storage was developed in the 19th century originates on Mayhill and survives to the present day, passing through what is now the Hillside Wildlife Corridor.

One of the first projects it authorised was the Baptist Well Estate, a scheme for 142 terraced houses which included Shelley and Byron Crescents (subsequently renamed High View and Long Ridge respectively), built in 1910 on the lower slopes of Mayhill.

During one such raid on 20 February 1941, fourteen homes were destroyed and twenty-four residents and another six firemen and civil defence volunteers perished at Teilo Crescent, Mayhill.

[7] A memorial plaque in Teilo Crescent commemorates the lost lives and those of others from Mayhill and the neighbouring Townhill district killed during the war.

A prominent landmark on Mayhill, visible from the city centre and Hafod, is Sea View Primary School designed by the Swansea Borough architect, Ernest Morgan.
