Studies in Welsh History: Intelligent Town – An Urban History of Swansea, 1780-1855

Description

A full-length study of Swansea’s urban development from the late eighteenth century to the late nineteenth century, giving an account of how Swansea gained an unrivalled position of influence as an urban centre, which led it briefly to claim to be the ‘metropolis of Wales’ and how it then lost its status in the face of rapid urban development elsewhere in Wales.
