Scanned from an old (cheap) colour photo, hence the washed out tints. The student village for Swansea University, the "newer" houses built in 1977 are seen on the left with the older houses just to the right. All the buildings in this view have been demolished and replaced by a suburban estate of houses for sale.

Hen gerbyty Plas Henrefoelan a addaswyd gan Goleg Prifysgol Abertawe I fod yn llyfrgell. Former coach house of Hendrefoilan Mansion which was adapted by Swansea University College into a library.

Adeiladwyd Plas Hendrefoelan yn 1853 ar gyfer y diwydiannwr, Lewis Llewelyn Dilwyn a'i deulu. Bu ei ferch, Amy Dilwyn (1845-1935) yn fenyw adnabyddus iawn. Fel nofelydd fe ysgrifennodd chwe nofel a bu hi hefyd yn ddiwydianwraig lwyddiannus iawn ac ymhlith y menywod cyntaf Prydain i fod felly. Gwisgai yn esentrig a ysmygai sigars. Yn 1964 prynwyd y ty gan Goleg Prifysgol Abertawe ac fe ddaeth yn rhan o'r campws er nad yw e bellach. Dyma hefyd yw cartref Llyfrgell Glowyr De Cymru. Hendrefoilan House (trans. winter dwelling of the bare hill) was built in 1853 for the industrialist, Lewis Llewelyn Dilwyn and his family. His daughter, Amy Dilwyn (1845-1935) was a well known figure in the area. As a novelist she wrote six novels and was also a very successful industrialist, one of the first women to be so in Britain. Eccentrically dressed she also smoked a cigar. In 1964 the mansion was purchased by University College Swansea as part of its campus although it is no longer in use. It continues, however, to be the home of the South Wales Miners Library.
