More about this scene

The Albert Hall, which opened in 1864, is on the right and was once the most famous of Swansea's music halls. It had a variety of uses, but it was also a place of Sunday worship where the Rev Oscar Snelling would minister to his large flock. Its original stone portico is now removed and today it is a Mecca Bingo Hall. Notice the milk churns on the delivery cart to the left.
