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.
