History about chosen site

The No Sign Bar

With another meeting with my group myself and two other decide to take a walk to the Swansea library to see what else we could find out about The no sign bar, apron arriving at the liberty we split up into the Ares of interest that could led us to more information no the building’s history . But after an hour of looking we could only find a small bit of information about no sign from a book called Real Swansea – edited by Peter Finch in 2008.

Reading though the text it stated that No sign was one of the oldest bar on Wind Street and Swansea. Along with learning that it’s also a listed building and protected by the city and count of Swansea. The text also talks about the internee of the bar of its bare wooden floors, reclaimed furniture its ‘distressed’ paintwork and the old fireplaces and also references to the rusticity design that the bar has try to keep over the years.

Within the text it talks about how it use to be a men’s only club known as Munday’s which was named but a family of wine merchant that ran the business. Within that paragraph its said that at one point in the bars life it was referred to as Dante’s Inferno, this could be an inserting angle to look into for myself and the group to work toward.

The text also mentions the poet Dylan Thomas and one of his late story story’s “The Followers“which I personally don’t what to go toward because I feel that Dylan Thomas is over done when it comes to this site-specific project that is set by the university.

The buildering in its self has been a number of properties such as brew house, a brewery, also wine and spirits merchants and a Victorian house. I feel that this is a good help of information but more is needed.
