Historic Swansea pub where theatre stars stayed and football fans drank is set to become flats

An old pub and hotel which once hosted famous faces from the world of theatre and was a popular haunt among football fans at Vetch Field games looks poised to become flats.

Swansea Council has received a planning application asking for permission to transform the old Singleton Hotel, which has been closed for more than four years, into nine flats and a commercial unit. Jordan Evans, of Singleton Swansea Ltd is behind the bid to transform the old building, which closed its doors for good on Tuesday, March 27, 2019.

The SIngleton Hotel once had a relationship with the nearby The Grand Theatre, at Singleton Street, and a lot of the performers who took to the stage there would stay at the hotel including Bob Monkhouse, Windsor Davies and Joe Pasquale.
