The area approximates to the Vivian Road, and Sketty Green. The village is centred on Sketty Cross, which is the junction of Gower Road, Vivian Road, and Dillwyn Road.

Unbroken Ground
by: Gary NicholsOooh
Oh, oh.
Let me tell you now
This field ain't ever been plowed.
But that don't mean it can't
It just ain't happened yet
But, baby, you seem to see past the weeds
So before you take a chance on me
Let me warn you what you're gonna get.
It's gonna be a hard row, but it'll be worth it
'Cause I know, underneath the surface
What's a-waiting if you dig a little deeper down
Keep doin' what you're doin', patiently
'Cause nothin' worth growin' comes easily
Lovin' me's gonna be like workin' unbroken ground.
I guess you could say that I've been the one to blame
'Cause I'm the one that built this fence
Keepin' people out of my heart
Baby, you somehow got to me
An' found a way to plant a seed
So let me say, before you go too far,
That it's gonna be a hard row, but it'll be worth it
'Cause I know, underneath the surface
What's a-waiting if you dig a little deeper down
So keep doin' what you're doin', patiently
'Cause nothin' worth growin' comes easily
Lovin' me's gonna be like workin' unbroken ground.
Oh, it's gonna be a hard row, but it'll be worth it
'Cause I know, underneath the surface
What's a-waiting if you dig a little deeper down
So keep doin' what you're doin', patiently
'Cause nothin' worth growin' comes easily
Lovin' me's gonna be like workin' unbroken ground.
Ooh, lovin' me's gonna be like workin' unbroken ground.
