Townhill Cemetery, High View and Long Ridge, Swansea, Wales, 790 burials total.
One of the first corporate actions of the early Swansea Jewish Community was the leasing of a plot of land to be used as a burial ground on 28th November, 1768. It was for 99 years on a plot of land 30 yards by 15 yards which was part of the Town Hill and exists there today. This is usually referred to as the old cemetery, Townhill.
