Another 'Blast from the Past' - An amazing photograph, taken on the roof of the 'Old' Swansea Central Police Station, Orchard Street, Swansea sometime during the 1930's. Kindly submitted by Brian Pounder, retired Superintendent, living in Bridgend - a former Swansea Borough officer. A letter from Brian, identifying the characters can be read here. 12th October 2011 Update - Bryon, I was at lunch yesterday when Brian Jones showed me the photograph and having joined the Swansea Borough Police and Fire Brigade as a cadet on 1st March 1941 was able to identify the persons shown. I would think that it was taken, probably 1934-1936. Yes, the Swansea Police School did take recruits from Neath and Carmarthen Boroughs, thats why the Neath Borough man is in the photograph. (Eric Place - 13th October) + Updated again on 15th March 2012 - In the Centre, back row is Sgt Tidswell Drill Sergeant. **************** All recent new photographs previously displayed on this page (up until November 2011) have been archived here.

New Search Engine The web site content is getting much larger as time goes by, sometimes making a subject (person, story, photograph etc) hard to find. To get around this and make life easier, a brand new 'Search Engine' was introduced in January,2012. It is automatically 'spidered' by electronic robots every 4 weeks so please bear this in mind when searching for recent content which may be less than a month old. The search engine has been placed on several pages - near to the top of the 'Home Page' - 'News Page' - and also below. Unlike Google which of course searches the whole of the Internet, this new search engine will only search within the confines of the Swansea Narpo web site. Please feel free to try it out! The whole web site is indexed every month. To carry out a search, please enter name or subject into the box provided. NB; There is normally no need to use capital letters as lower case works very well for most searches.
