Swansea Town
The industrial heritage of South Wales can be seen clearly in the urban fabric of Swansea town and Port Talbot. In the foreground, lines of row houses are the relicts of workers housing from the 19th century when the city of Swansea was the copper-smelting centre of the world. In the background, the storage silos and petrochemical plant located in the suburb of Llandarcy, attest to Swansea's continuing industrial base.
