A visual journey through Wales' second city
The physical face of Swansea has undergone enormous change over the past century. Dylan Thomas may have called it an ‘ugly, lovely town', but Swansea had witnessed many remarkable changes even before Dylan coined that famous phrase. With this website, we hope to show how both major and minor events have moulded Swansea into the ever-expanding city we see today.
