Notes on DANBERT HOUSE, Swansea 2017
Long ruinous - at least fifteen years - recently sold for £100,000 after the Australian owners were forced to sell by Swansea Council. Nothing has yet been done to consolidate the ruins, except last year the fire brigade dismantled the roof partially after an arson attack.
Built 1880 and was last used as an employment centre.
My visit was on a bleak Sunday afternoon with a handheld 5x4 inch camera and fast film, nonetheless due to the dimness of the day, I had to push my film speed from 400asa to 1600asa resulting in grainy negatives.
Another visit will be made at a later date.
