It is one of the best known landmarks in Swansea. An iconic feature from the heyday of seaside entertainment, the Big Apple kiosk was built in the early 1930s to promote a cider brand called Cidertone.
In March, 2019, we reported how it had been given listed status by Welsh Government heritage body Cadw, meaning it's there to stay. You can read more about that by clicking here. You can also sign up to the latest newsletters featuring articles from the Swansea area by clicking here.
But these days, it only takes a stroll past the 'apple' to see it's a shadow of its former self. A shattered window, a buckled door and even graffiti reading 'No to vaccines' are among the signs it has sadly become a target for vandalism and anti-social behaviour.
