Staff at a restaurant which was completely destroyed in a huge fire on Mumbles Pier have issued a defiant statement saying they will bounce back from the tragedy. The blaze completely decimated the popular Copperfish restaurant on the end of the pier, as well as the neighbouring community room that was formerly Cinderella's nightclub.
The restaurant, which opened on the pier five years ago, was reduced to rubble, with these shocking pictures showing the aftermath of the fire, which sent huge plumes of thick black smoke billowing into the sky over Mumbles on Wednesday, August 31. The day following the blaze, dozens of burnt tables and chairs could be seen on the floor of the destroyed restaurant, while the roof had fallen in with rows of glasses and alcohol bottles still on the shelves behind the bar.
Luckily, no-one was injured and, remarkably, the amusement arcade, Beach Hut cafe, RNLI base and the pier itself were all unaffected by the blaze. You can get the latest stories from across Swansea sent straight to your inbox for free with our newsletter.
