One for the Swansea ’eds: is this logo for the slowly-disappearing St. David’s Shopping Centre by the same artist as the much-loved Penscynor Wildlife Park car sticker, or is it just of the same time? Have only just clocked the similarities.

Always been quite fond of St. David’s myself, even though growing up in the 1990s/2000s I only ever remember it being a bit of a ghost town on the edge of the city centre. Like Parc Tawe, it’s a 1980s pre-Internet vision of what shopping should look like in the 21st century.

One of the entrances to the red-brick open-air St. David’s Shopping Centre in Swansea. The second ‘s’ is missing from the sign that says ‘St. David’s’ above the entrance.
