EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to Swansea's bustling city center in the 1960s with this photo print. Captured on the 22nd of April, 1966, it showcases Swansea's first multi-storey car park located in Orchard Street. A significant development for the city, this state-of-the-art facility was designed to accommodate over 300 cars, possibly even up to an impressive 518 according to some sources. The image transports us to an era where Ford Cortinas and other classic vehicles filled the streets, evoking a sense of nostalgia and taking us down memory lane. The sight of a busy bus stop nearby reminds us of the vibrant public transport system that served as a lifeline for commuters. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also represents progress and modernity for Swansea. The construction of this multi-storey car park marked an important milestone in urban planning and infrastructure development within Wales. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Western Mail Archive's collection, we can't help but appreciate how far our cities have come since then. It serves as a reminder that every structure has its own story to tell – one that intertwines with the memories and experiences of countless individuals who passed through its doors.
