Morfa Copper Works (site of Swansea Canal and Mile End Cottages)
This 1998 view was taken from the green just to the west of the former Morfa Copper Works site. Swansea Canal ran along the right hand wall until it was completely filled during the 1970s. The Morriston branch line used to run on a viaduct which would have crossed this area - this was demolished in the 1970s.
Mile End Cottages would have stood to the left of this view until the 1960s.
Morfa was operated by Williams Foster & Co. from 1835-80. Between 1880 - 93 it was operated by Williams Foster & Co. and between 1893 - 1924 by Williams Foster & Co. Ltd and Pascoe Grenfell & Co. Ltd. Hafod Copper Works was taken over by Morfa in 1924. British Copper Manufacturers owned the combined works until 1928, when they were taken over by ICI, although the refining of copper had ended around 1924.
The site was taken over by Yorkshire Imperial Metals, an amalgamation of ICI and Yorkshire Metals in 1957, the two works worked as one until closure in August 1980.
The grainy image quality was due to the use of an early digital camera (Fuji MX700)

Former Landore High Level (GWR) Station Entrance
This 1998 image taken from the junction of Hamilton Street and Station Road shows the bricked up entrance to the former Landore High Level (GWR) Station which closed in November 1964.
This station was suffixed 'High Level' for a while to distinguish it from the 'Low Level' station which closed in 1954.
Another bricked up arch exists further down Station Road.
