Glad you came across your grandad's jersey on this site. Everything is currently in storage as St Helen's pavilion is renovated. But it will be available to view come the new season. Let us know if you are in Swansea and we will arrange for you to have a viewing. The jersey is in very good condition. St Helen's Archive - Head Archivist.
