Note
The building situated in the Townhill area of Swansea which had begun life as a cinema in 1937 under the ownership of Oscar Dennis became the Tower Ballroom in August 1958. In the 1970s it served as a bingo hall, but later fell into disuse. On 11 September 1993 the building was destroyed by fire.
