The Cross Keys, Swansea
Submitted by PubsCymru on
One of the oldest buildings in Swansea located in St Mary Street and formed part of the hospital of the Blessed David of Sweys which was founded in 1332 during Edward III’s reign. Following the dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539 by Henry VIII the building was granted to Sir George Herbert in 1547 and converted to an inn by the 17th century. The twin gabled frontage dates to the early 1600s.
The Cross Keys was seriously damaged by German bombs during the Second World War and was in serious danger of being completely destroyed. Thankfully it was saved and remodelled and refurbished during 1950 - 59
