Former Morriston West Station (Clase Road)
This building on Clase Road housed the ticket office for the Great Western Railway's Morriston West Station. It opened in May 1881 and closed to passengers in June 1956. The line closed completely in October 1965. It became a shop for a number of years after closure. The running lines ran under the road - today the station area is a car park. This view was taken in 1998 when the structure was relatively unmodified. Today, the structure still stands, although an extra storey and a side extension have been added. The grainy image quality was due to the use of an early digital camera (Fuji MX700)

A48 crosses former Swansea Vale Railway at Morriston
The west branch of the Vale railway is long gone (and the last short remnant of the disused eastern one is being torn up right now). The land here has been reused as the carpark for Castle Bingo. I had originally thought that this bridge was for the old Swansea Canal but Lee Hanford wrote to set me straight. Examining the old maps I have to agree that the canal and railway were separate here and that the canal was a little further east. The eastern branch of the old railway can be seen here: Image] Image]

Former canal bridge over Morriston footpath
The Swansea Canal is no more. At this point it has become a footpath. You'll have to stoop to pass under the bridge since the canal has been completely filled in.
