Much has changed in Swansea over the years and this short but comprehensive history chronicles the development of the city from the earliest times to today. The Little History of Swansea traces the growth of the medieval town, the rise of the Port of Swansea, the industrial heritage of the area and the fate that befell the town during the Second World War. Here you can read about the odd and unusual happenings, as well as the more traditional history that has made the city what it is today.
David Gwynn authored many local history books on Wales, including studies on Swansea, Mumbles and Gower. A well-known author and researcher, his work provides glimpses of the past, both well remembered and long forgotten.
