Swansea Market

[4] The previous market on this site had existed since 1894 and was destroyed during the Swansea Blitz in the Second World War.

[2] The first dedicated market building was built in 1774 at the top of Wind Street.

[4] That consisted of a roof supported by pillars - it had no external walls.

The new building was entirely roofed and by December 1897, electric lighting had been introduced.

There are also a number of stalls selling local and continental delicacies, such as continental cheeses, Welsh laverbread, Penclawdd cockles,[1] Gower Saltmarsh lamb[7] and Welsh Black beef.
