On match day, when Swansea City still played their games at Vetch Field, you would see fans in their football shirts filling up the area in front of the Swansea Jack pub.
Located in Oystermouth Road, looking across to the Civic Centre, it was a familiar landmark.
Then the fans headed off to the Liberty Stadium, the pub went quiet and eventually closed.
Now, changes are afoot again, but this time they will see the well known old pub, its sign and frontage vanish from the city's landscape.
The former pub in Sandfields is now hidden behind scaffolding and sheeting with work likely to start soon.
Closed since 2015, the end terrace property in Oystermouth was disposed of by Swansea Council which said it was surplus to its requirements.
In 2017, the pub was sold for nearly twice its asking price after fierce competition from rival auction bidders.
Listed with a guide price of £75,000 by Newport-based Paul Fosh auctioneers, the pub eventually sold for £140,000 to a local buyer.
In August, 2018, residents claimed human faeces and drug dealing were blighting the pub , with neighbours contacting the council to say they no longer wanted to live next door to it.
The same month council planning officers recommended approval for a scheme put forward by applicant Mohamed Alsulaiti to knock down the pub and construct a three-storey building comprising a ground floor office and a pair of two-bed maisonettes above.
They said the site was very close to the Quadrant bus station and shopping centre, that bike storage would be provided, and that the pub could be changed to a restaurant, cafe or takeaway without planning permission.
