A three rooms and passageway pub built in 1864 at the same time as the railway (now a cycle track) that ran alongside it. The passageway connects the rooms and the hatch/door in a part-glazed partition could once have been the off-sales. The small public bar on the left has a counter at least 60 years old with a new top; of a similar vintage are the ply-panelled walls and fixed seating, with the spindly ornamental timbering added later. A number of shelves of varying date form the bar back. Across the passage is a small room that has lost a fireplace and has been brought into use at some time. At the rear the lounge was originally half its present size but has expanded into domestic quarters in recent years and also has added timbering. The small counter here is a modern insertion replacing a hatch - there are no fittings of any great age in this room. Outside gents' and ladies' toilets.
A three rooms and passageway pub in the same ownership as the tiny Swansea Brewery enabling drinkers to sample a number of their beers in unspoilt surroundings. Built in 1864 at the same time as the railway (now a cycle track) that runs alongside it. The passageway connects its three rooms and the hatch/door in a part-glazed partition could have been the off-sales in the past. The small public bar on the left has a bar counter at least 60 years old with a new top, ply-panelled walls from c.1960 and fixed seating of a similar date with the spindly ornamental timbering added later. There are a number of shelves of varying date forming a bar back. Across the passage is a small room that has lost a fireplace and has been brought into use at some time. At the rear is a lounge - originally it was half its present size but it has expanded into domestic quarters in recent years and also has added timbering. The small counter here is a modern addition replacing a hatch - there are no fittings of any great age in this room. Outside gents' and ladies' toilets.
