Deeds of title of Swansea Corporation property. These documents, which formerly must have been in the possession of the Town Clerk, had been kept for many years in the Borough Estate Agents department prior to accession in December 1976. Although no prior list of the class exists, the documents had been enumerated and ordered on several occasions, the last and only known occasion being 11 April 1952. The class has been broken up at some time. The sub-numbers used in this list follow this numbering system. The deeds in this series were catalogued and described by W. C. Rogers in his Swansea and Glamorgan Calendar, edited by Bernard Morris and published by the West Glamorgan Archive Service 2005 (searchroom library, LOC/SWA 78)S/EA/1/hub

Papers relating to the North Dock Abandonment Act 1928, 1913-1971. Swanseas North Dock was built in the 180s out of a bend in the River Tawe near to the town. The course of the river was straightened by the creation of the New Cut, and its former course turned into the North Dock, which was opened in 1852. By the 1920s, following the opening of larger docks to the east of the River Tawe, the North Dock was largely redundant and the Great Western Railway Company, its owners, proposed to close it. This resulted in the passage of the Great Western Railway (North Dock Abandonment) Act, 1928. The dock closed to shipping in 1930 and the upper part was filled in, leaving the North Dock Basin open until 1969, when it was filled in. New roads were built and the site eventually redeveloped for retail.S/EA/10/hub
