DescriptionSwansea was the home of the Youll family from 1923, when they purchased Lot 4 of the George Laurence Fuller Estate from Mr David Timbs.

The Youll family owned Swansea until 1965, when the farm and land was sold to developers.

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.
