The 'ghost' Swansea shopping centre that's now a thriving, exciting success after two locals took it over

It was once dubbed Swansea's ghost shopping centre. Practically empty, a walk around its deserted, echoing corridors was a depressing experience.

These days, If you're looking for a full day out where there's something that will appeal to the entire family, it's hard to imagine many better places in Swansea these days. Whether you want to catch a film, go food shopping, have a meal or a coffee, go bowling, wander through a tropical zoo or immerse yourself into an adventure park experience - all are within a stone's throw of each other.

Big name attractions fill the city centre destination, with countless reasons to visit for those young and old. But roll the clock back several years, and it was completely unrecognisable. When these pictures were taken in 2015, the centre was dying a slow death, with little reason for anyone to visit.
