A month on from the devastating fire at Mumbles pier and the loss of a much-loved part of Swansea's history is laid bare.
At the height of the blaze on August 31 fire crews from Morriston, Tumble, Swansea, Port Talbot, Neath, Carmarthen and as far a field as Cardigan were on the scene. The fire ripped through the former Cinderella's nightclub and the adjoining Copperfish restaurant but firefighters were able to stop the flames spreading to the nearby amusement arcade and to the pier itself.
Speaking after the blaze Fred and Bert Bollom, the third generation of the Bollom family to own the landmark pier complex, said they were "completely devastated" at the damage done and said they were thankful nobody had been injured. They praised the response of their staff and the emergency services who they said went "above and beyond" in dealing with the incident.
