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.

Bascule Bridge, Swansea
This historic bridge as seen from the River Tawe is one of the few surviving relics of the area's rich copper heritage. It had a water-powered lever system enabling a section of the bridge to be lifted to allow sailing ships to pass through.
It is due to be restored for cyclists and pedestrians to use.

Pont Reilfordd y Morfa Railway Bridge
The Morfa railway bridge spanning the Tawe River and located near the Liberty Stadium, Swansea. Constructed in 1909 it carried waste from the Morfa Copper Works to a dump on the eastern side of the river. It also linked the former with the Upper Bank Copper Works. The bridge had a water tank on its western end which, when filled, enabled it to tilt up an allow high masted boats to pass through safely.
Rhychwanta Pont Reilffordd y Morfa Afon Tawe ger y Stadiwm Liberty. Adeiladwyd y bont yn 1909 er cludo gwastraff i'r tip ar ochr ddwyreinol o'r afon.
