Description
Swansea's industrial past remains visible today. The city's copper-smelting industry and its proximity to coalfields in Cornwall made it an attractive location for growth during the Industrial Revolution. However, as industries declined in the 20th century, much of the city centre was rebuilt after being devastated by aerial bombardment in World War II. This photographic history showcases a city that has undergone significant change. It presents a portrait of Swansea's past, including its people, street scenes, and popular places of entertainment, which have largely disappeared today. The book will appeal to those who live in the city or know it well, as well as those who remember it from previous decades. A fascinating look at lost Swansea, this photographic history is a must-have for anyone interested in the city's history and development.
