Just opposite the Morfa Liberty stadium, this Mills type milepost is part of National Cycle Route 43. The bridge is part of the new stadium development and the Liberty stadium can be seen just to the right. The river being bridged is the Tawe and is navigable at this point.

The remains of Upper Bank Station, Swansea
In this 1998 view, the decaying remains of Upper Bank Station can be seen. Upper Bank was opened in 1871 as part of the Swansea Vale Railway's route to Morriston. It eventually reached Brynamman. The whole line was taken over by the Midland Railway in 1876 and additional through routes were added as a result. Passenger services ceased in 1950 and complete closure took place in the 1960s.
By 1985 the only railway here was the section preserved by the SVR Society. In 2007, Swansea Council decided to redevelop the area and by 2010 the preserved railway was itself history, although the society itself lives on.

Archway Sculpture at Kilvey Community Woodland
This arch marks the start of the Sculpture Trail on Kilvey Hill. According to this page http://www.hardcorecarvers.co.uk/nansi/archway1.html the arch was created in 2001. I didn't see many other sculptures as I walked through the forest though.
The arch is by artist Nansi Hemming who has other work featured on Geograph too:
