Phoenix Street, Swan Village. Unfortunately, the photo isn't clear enough to show the "slums" that were cleared in the 1920's and 1930's under the 1919 Housing Act. Adrodd fel Amhriodol	DaveT	Sunday 24th of November 2013 04:05:38 PM

The chemical works are those of Robinson Brothers Ltd. Dating from 1869, Robinson Brothers are to-day a manufacturer of fine organic chemicals.
