More about 66 Wind Street


 After the death of the druggist Charles T. Wilson, 1890, and when the seaman, William Caldwell lived there.

66 Wind Street was a take-away outlet.

During 1891, Swansea Medical Officer of Health, who had received complaints regarding the premises about the "business of frying fish", paid a visit, where he advised the proprietor, John Morgan.

The advice or Morgan was ordered to use the "best practical means for abating such nuisance or counteracting the effluvia arising therefrom"

Also during 1891, a crime was committed at the take-away outlet.  A Morriston labourer, David Jones, who was requested a portion of fish.  Mrs Morgan, who refused to serve him on the account that Jones was drunk.  Jones ran out with a cooked leg of pork.  Later that evening he was caught by a police at Landore, with the said piece of pork under his coat.    Jones was convicted of the theft and given the choice of paying 40-shilling fine or serving a months sentence.  What a choice!
