Present Day
Occupying the land of the brewery offices is now the Quadrant Shopping Centre. Once returned to Swansea the devil was placed as close to his original location inside the shopping centre as possible without directly offending the church goers. There was notable religious objection to his reinstallation, and when the Quadrant was refurbished he was placed in storage. After public outcry aided by the local newspaper the South Wales Evening Post Old Nick was placed back once more to watch over St. Mary's. It sits today on the corner of the second floor of the Quadrant next to New Look, look to the left as you're entering the shopping centre.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“The salt person and blasted place
I furnish with the meat of a fable;
If the dead starve, their stomachs turn to tumble
An upright man in the antipodes
Or spray-based and rock-chested sea:
Over the past table I repeat this present grace.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“To think to know the country and not know
The hillside on the day the sun lets go
Ten million silver lizards out of snow!”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
