Rock face in Rosehill Quarry
The port of Swansea is backed by a huge mound of sandstone over which the districts of Townhill, Mount Pleasant and Uplands now sprawl. This rock face reveals the blue Pennant stone that provided building material for housing during the second half of the C19 when this was a working stone quarry.

Pool in Rosehill quarry
This little pocket wilderness on the site of a former quarry supports over 100 plant species and 30 different birds and a variety of amphibians in its trees, rocky sides and fresh running water.
Sandstone was quarried here in the mid-C19 for building the surrounding residential street. After a period of neglect it was rescued and turned into a recreational and natural history resource for the local community. On the day I visited a group of tiny children, all dressed in red like a troop of pixies, were playing hide and seek under the watching eye of their teachers.
