Scenes from the Lower Swansea Valley in 1963; Where No Trees Grew
Scenes from the lower Swansea Valley were filmed in 1963 in colour showing the industrial dereliction being assessed by the Lower Swansea Valley Project at that time.
Connecting Communities to the Industrial Heritage of the Lower Swansea Valley. Film of the celebration event held on 25th June 2015
The copper industry put Swansea on the map and made it the centre of the industrial world. The furnaces burned out long ago, but it’s hoped the derelict works could be just as important to Swansea’s future as they were to its past – thanks to an AHRC-funded community research and regeneration project. At the Connected Communities Festival, people came together to celebrate their achievements so far, as well as working out the next steps. // Filmed and edited by Peter Jones.
