Major gas mains works to take place at scene of Swansea explosion

Major gas mains work has begun in the street and surrounding area where a house explosion took place in Swansea last week. Wales and West Utilities have begun to replace gas pipes in the Clydach Road and Field Close area of Morriston.

A man was killed and other people were injured in the "major incident" in Swansea on Monday, March 12. Sadly 68-year-old Brian Davies was found dead at the scene.

Postman Jonathan Roberts was driving his van in the area at the time and was caught up in the explosion. He said: "How I walked away from that I don't know." Claire Bennett and her son Ethan were rescued from the wreckage of their house together with their puppy and cat Fern while their cat Teddy was missing for several days following the explosion before she was found.
