Hello  :)

You can find several references to Thomas Milward on the Cambrian index.

http://www.swansea.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=6197

One of the references from 27th Sept 1889 is regarding the Bath Hotel, Norton and the licence transfer application - evidence of Mr Nicholl Morgan & Mr Thomas Milward!

On Swansea Archives site there is a mention of the Bath Hotel, Oystermouth Rd as one of the properties owned by Allied breweries, but this may be a different place.
D/D Z 549/3> Correspondence relating to the purchase of Bath Hotel, Oystermouth Road, Swansea. 1898

Kind Regards
Morgan

Hi Phipps,

I couldn't help noticing your query about the Bath Hotel.

My parents actually live in part of this hotel, for many years now it's been split into private houses. They are three storey, part of a Georgian terrace on the seafront at Norton, in Oystermouth, Swansea. My parents' house was apparently the servants' quarters of the Bath Hotel, and is next to the main part of the hotel, which was on the corner of Mumbles Road and Norton Road. The rooms are large, with high ceilings. The views across Swansea Bay are stunning!

Hope this helps

Hi lizholt, This information is very useful to me,thank you.This is where my Gt Grandmother and her children,including my 6 year old Grandfather retreated to after their home," Norton Lodge" was gutted by fire in 1887.
Is there a photo of Bath Hotel as it exists today,or as it existed in the 1870s that you know of ?
I appreciate your time and kindness very much !
