A large jewellers has closed down unexpectedly after decades of trading in Swansea city centre. H Samuel, on the corner of Oxford Street and Union Street, has disappeared and all its signs have been removed.
The store stocked a wide range of jewellery including engagement rings and wedding bands, necklaces, bracelets and watches, as well as collectible figurines and living room decorations. It was located opposite F Hinds jewellers and was a short walk from another H Samuel jewellers, as well as four other similar businesses (Clogau, Pandora, Ernest Jones and stephen hughes fine diamonds), all in the Quadrant Centre.
