MOTHER Teresa of Calcutta paid her first visit to Wales yesterday to open a convent in a terrace house which once belonged to legendary boxer Jimmy Wilde.
Arriving in Swansea in a wheelchair after damaging her ankle in Dublin two days ago, the 86-year-old Albanian born charity worker was met by a delegation from the Roman Catholic diocese of Menevia, which covers West Wales.
The two bedroom house is sited at the bottom of a steep hill tumbling towards Swanseas city centre. Neighbours looked in wonder out of their windows as a police escort arrived and Mother Teresa was helped into the sunshine from a limousine - 17th June 1996
