Gower Inn yes, although it's a chain pub now, disappointingly as far as food goes. Langrove Country Club is still open too, the rest I couldn't say. My mum was the resident pianist there when she was 16, and then for a few years after that.

The three lamps as a building is still there but its had quite a few name changes , I can't recall it being called a hotel though. Quite run down now (looking at the outside) but still trading , can't think what its called now though sorry
Hair dressing by David is in clydach now run by the son now I think, used to go there to get my short back and sides
This is one of the few establishments that's not a bar or retaurant in Wind Street. It's Santino's Hair Salon now. google maps link : http://maps.google.com/maps?q=65 wi...=h&z=17&vpsrc=0&panoid=Y6x1p2Oj2YftTwj1bLpZKg
Probably mate if I remember rightly they are huge football fans, the son is called David as well by the way, he must be close to retirement himself by now, I remember his father as well as he was still cutting hair when I was much younger.
