The demise of another pub?
The Garibaldi Inn in Western Street was one of the pubs hit by the closure of the nearby Swansea City AFC's home ground at Vetch Field in 2005. The fans have moved elsewhere and so has trade.

The Garibaldi pub sign
The pub is closed, delicensed, and for sale but this appealing image remains although Guiseppe Garibaldi's signature red shirt has weathered to brown.
Quite a number of British pubs were named for this popular Italian nationalist revolutionary hero who died in 1882 but since he was originally a merchant marine captain it's possible he actually visited Swansea in his seagoing days.
