The Kingsway, Swansea
View down Kingsway from outside the YMCA. The Odeon cinema and Top Rank Suite can be seen in the middle distance and Kilvey Hill rises up in the background. This was taken on a Sunday if my memory serves me right so note the lack of traffic. Shops were still closed on Sundays in 1979.
