Fair play what a fantastic job has been done on these iconic buildings, the skyline in Swansea is certainly changing, oh and the Meriden Tower is reopening |  |

The restaurant at the top should be a gold mine but where do you park?? The views, day or night are spectacular. Hope the new venture works out. |  |

Exactly, typical you didn't go there but pass comment.
I think you are mixing it up with Doras | |

I've worked with Rob Stewart a bit and I know Swansea council come in for a good bit of stick but he really is trying to regenerate the city. | | | |

I haven't been to Antarctica, but I know it's cold there 
It was called Jingles and it was notorious. As a Swansea lad I would have thought you would have heard about it | | | |

Doras was never rough imo , a great place , red drape curtains , sticky dance floor and lots of laughs | |

I wouldn't say that. Even a mild mannered chap like myself did not escape being forced into fisticuffs at Doras, and I know one or two others who got set upon. Some of the bouncers were not adverse to getting stuck in as well, though I never had a problem with them. Then there was a different occasion when I swapped cars for a weekend with a friend, and had to explain why the side window of his MGB was smashed in while I was inside.
Re the Palace nightclub, there are some photos here - but I must confess the place was not on my regular circuit.

It was a bar not a night club frequented quite a bit mid to late 70s, an as far as I can remember it wasn't rough, now upstairs in the Cape Horner was a totally different matter | |

Thiecurrent incumbents are doing a lot of good work. It's just a shame previous councils screwed our city up so badly that fixing it is a very expensive job.

The Palace has been a bar and a nightclub - with Jingles becoming a gay bar. |  |

The Cape ,only visited when drunk with the intention of getting drunker, the last landlord was a guy called Alan? Who tried to turn the place around then bought by an Asian family now just a pile of rubble, sad really when you consider the history of the place and the reputation of the sailors which preceded them. | |

Never visited St. Thomas or Port Tennant much in my younger days , played football at that pitch overlooking the docks way back in the day , cannot remember the name alas .
Read the Cape Horner pub was named after the copper mined in the Swansea area was sent round the Cape of Good Hope by Swansea sailors . Glynn Vivian was the businessman .
Morriston monkeys , a yarn or sailors taking strange creatures from their travels back to the area and asking the locals to hold the animal for a small donation towards their beer .
There again it could be that strange looking tree on Vicarage Road junction . | | | |
