Pottery Street houses, Swansea
New housing located between New Cut Road and the River Tawe. The name Pottery Street has been revived. A street of that name (probably nearby rather than in this exact location) was demolished in the 1970s.

Railway viaducts over New Cut Road, Swansea
This 1998 view shows the main Swansea railway station platform viaduct to the rear and the box girder viaduct that used to link the Vale of Neath, GWR and LNWR routes together. Originally, this joint viaduct would have run towards Swansea Victoria (LNWR) station serving various wharves along the now filled in North Dock area.
Although the viaducts and tiling date back to the 1920s, New Cut Road as a through road did not exist until the 1960s. The road formerly known as Upper Strand would have terminated at the box girder bridge as the Swansea Canal intersected this view from left to right just beyond the lamp post until the 1950s.
Beyond the viaducts and in the distance, the original Upper Strand veered to the right to connect with the Hafod Bridge triangle. Due to the roadworks on the 1960s, New Cut Road does not have a road connection with the current Upper Strand.
Elephant Street and Bargeman's Row were accessed from the original Upper Strand, until New Cut Road cut these off totally. Remains of these former slum streets can still be seen.
Car hire company Godfrey Davies occupied one of the industrial units between the two railway viaducts in the distance until the 1980s.
