It could be where you were born, live, drink, popped your cherry in a fumble after a club, it could even be serious...... the floor is yours. My personal favourite is Salubrious Passage, just cos if you don't know what salubrious means, it just sounds very rude/wrong. eg. I met a girl in a bar in Wind Street, she liked me and I lked her. After a few drinks, we went outside in the rain. One thing led to another...... and I will never forget my time in that moist, salubrious passage.
Fair enough Yankee my man, good choice. Good or bad, I bet there's nothing quite like Carlton Terrace in Conneticut though!
Damn right ... long ago before they buggered around with the traffic patterns on the Kings Way, a quiet little place, just up the road from the old Albert Hall and that lovely fish and chip restaurant (can't remember its name now) opposite on Craddock Street, just around the corner from the old main fire station and Dynevor school. Lived there 'til I was 2 or so.
rrhyddings park road, cant remeber how the **** to spell it. Lived there for years and shagged my neighbours daughter in the alley behind it! p.s sounds like she was younger than me, for record shes 2 years older than me!
Rhyddings, ToL1D7 Close! Favourite road? Probably Pantycelyn Road up in Townhill for the view... but Llwyn Mawr road at the top of Tycoch near where I used to live has an even better panoramic view from the top. Many a drunken stagger home ended with me sitting on the roundabout in between the two estates on top of the hill watching the sun come up from there.
"Many a drunken stagger home". Some things never change then,eh,Scott ???!!!! As for me,I can only think in terms of Woodfield Street,Morriston,which figured on a daily basis in my formative,and teenage years. Back and fore to school every day;going to The Regal Cinema,on way home,then a bag of chips and a rissole at The Cross. Teenage years saw me monkey parading on Sunday nights;coffee,and juke box in the cafe by The Church in the middle of the road;snooker in Dai Llews; waiting for The Sporting on Saturday night to avidly read about The Swans',or Glamorgan. I could go on about the snogging down by the canal,but I won't bore you with the details!!!
Kingsway for me in the mid 70s - Grab a Granny night at the Top Rank and pulled what I thought at the time was a very mature experienced lady but looking back I guess she was all of 26/27 Worst road Fabian Way as walking/staggering back to Neath from a night out still bloody miles to go!
I forgot about Madoc Place..... always happy memories walking down that street to the North bank and then buzzing on the way out please log in to view this image
Yankee, it's the Windsor Cafe, used to get my pre match bag of chips from there. Salem Road for me, mainly for walking home after an evening drinking down The Coppers or The Commercial, the drink made it a lot easier.
Born and bred in fleet st and had a great childhood but my learning years "wink wink2 where on swansea beach so i guess oystermouth rd brings back memories..as i had to cross it to get to paradise........i took a girl up the Salubrious Passage once ..she couldn't sit down or a week
aside from those around the vetch, my favourite streets would have to have been the ones with the best parties on them, Cwmdonkin Terrace where my friends from virgin records lived, Adelaide street for circles/dora's and Sandy Lane, Pennard for great shack parties. didn't have much success up salubrious passage but came of age in the woods at parkmill behind the gower inn, a boozer well known for its relaxed interpretation of licensing laws
funny thing i live near Woodfield street myself, just off the road from sway road. alot of people close by, small town swansea! xD
Llwynmawr Road is a good shout. Used to live in Tycoch. Fab views of the bay. Any visitor to Swansea can't fail to be impressed with Oystermouth Road though, especially from St Helens down towards Mumbles. The part by the West Cross Inn is beautiful when the tide is in.
Pantycelin Road was a good shout! I got engaged on that road... Bit odd I know, but the view is incredible.
Fair play! I wouldn't say that it's a bit odd! Proper breathtaking view from there...in fact my mum did the shoot for the promotional shots for her first musical there!
I live in clyndu st now been there for some 30 years ...yep its a small world but i wouldn't want to paint it !!
