Most of the buildings in Wind Street survived the three night blitz in February 1941. The ones that were destroyed had replacements in keeping with the rest. In the summer months the street is closed to traffic and the eateries spill out onto the pavements creating a lovely, continental atmosphere akin to a restaurant quarter. Swansea is finally rising from the remains of its wartime ashes into a cool and cosmopolitan city.
