DescriptionSwansea was built by local builder Thomas Daniel Whitfield, for David Timbs c.1921.

Richard Youll purchased the home from Timbs in 1923 and named the home 'Swansea', after Swansea in Wales, where the family was from.

The Youll family owned Swansea until c.1970, when the farm and land was sold.

Shellharbour City Council later purchased the land for a sporting oval, and the house still remains.

The Youll family was a major contributor to the Albion Park A.H & I Society. Mr Richard Youll served on the committee for a lengthy period, and was secretary for two years. His sons, John and Donald, were prominent in Junior Farmers activities, and after Donald’s death at age 27 in 1955, the Junior Farmers Pavilion at the Albion Park Showground was named in his honour.
