Interesting piece & something that very few would have been aware of regards the history of Swansea. Thanks for posting.

No Problem ... Fanny Imlay was the lesser light in the William Godwin household and basically felt inferior to her half sister Mary Shelley . She intimated in a letter to the family that she was going to end it . Shelley himself tried to get to Swansea before she killed herself . Unfortunately it was too late and an overdose of laudunum (Opium mixed in red wine ) proved fatal. That was the drug of choice for many in those days see Thomas de Quincy - Confessions of an opium eater . Samuel Taylor Coleridge also was a big user writing the poem Kubla Khan after becoming unconscious in a field in the Quantock hills.
