What is recorded here
Police Station and Oystermouth Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Swansea, Wales. Perhaps stones and memories collide where law and legend share one address. Maybe a chamber holds both a cell and a king's hall. Imagine brass buttons pressing against robe sleeves, two worlds occupying the same room.

Oystermouth Castle, near Swansea, was built by the de Briouze family in the late 12th or early 13th century and later held by the Crown. It is remembered as one of the few surviving examples of a circular Norman keep in Wales and for its historical association with the Welsh Wars of Independence.
