The Museum has attempted to represent most of the local industrial past (not in the least the tin plate works originally situated on-site). Here we see coal mining being represented - in this case not immediately local. This was originally the Morlais mine, situated on the Loughor estuary. Dismantled in the early 1980s and reconstructed here. Image]
