For over forty years, 'Ben Evans' was a symbol of architectural magnificence, and was considered 'the finest store in Wales and the West of England'. However, this iconic building met a tragic end during the Three Nights' Blitz in February 1941, when enemy aircraft devastated over 41 acres of Swansea's town centre, leaving the once-grand emporium in ruins.The legacy of the Ben Evans store endures through a poignant collection of photographs, featuring striking images of the store's impressive Castle Bailey Street frontage alongside haunting scenes of its destruction. These visual records serve as a powerful reminder of its former splendour and the devastating impact of war on the town's landscape.Despite its significance, comprehensive information regarding both the Ben Evans store and its founder is scarce. This book presents an investigation into this iconic establishment, and the narrative of the store spans from Benjamin Evans' initial ownership in 1866 to the store's closure over 90 years later.

Funny, straightforward, and intimate, this 'ex-pat' memoir is a must-read for women, moms, and podcast listeners.

You may touch a grave, and whilst it might appear to be, as the poet Andre Marvell said, 'a fine and private place,' you will be a welcome intruder, connecting instantly with the person it represents; you will feel the weight of the story that lies within. Headstones are not untouchable relics behind a security screen; they are physical memories. Your presence, your touch, brings those memories to life.In this book you will find stories that cannot be ignored; stories of anguish and sorrow, stories of courage and achievement. These are tales from the past that can still speak to us today. There are great events here - the Titanic, the sinking of The Royal Charter, the execution of a King - but there are also terrible murders. And these open a window into the lives of ordinary people, lives that are often overlooked in the historical record.The stories stretch out from 1680 to 1949, and are arranged, not by theme or date, but by location, and in this way I hope that the book offers a collection of fascinating places to visit - visits that will create a connection between you and the heritage of Wales.
