Guildhall, Swansea: the Brangwyn Hall

The Guildhall was built in 1932-1936. The murals by Frank Brangwyn seen here were originally intended for the House of Lords at the Palace of Westminster. Brangwyn depicted a 'synthetic panorama of the beauty of Greater Britain'. The panels though were rejected by the House of Lords, after being exhibited at the Ideal Home exhibition of 1933, they were acquired by Swansea. The panels date from the late 1920s to the early 1930s.
