We do walks & talks on the Hafod Morfa Copperworks, Swansea. We'd love to repair the Musgrave Steam engine, the last 1 of its type left in the world.

17th June 1910 “Swansea Tar on the Terra Nova”. ‘Chief Seaman Edgar Evans, with the typical modesty and an unmistakable West Wales accent, said ‘ I hope we shall meet again, that depends on Captain Scott bringing back the Pole. If we do I hope you will let it go to Swansea.’

30th April 1909 ‘The Cambrian’ FIRE AT THE HAFOD COPPERWORKS “A serious fire broke out late afternoon at the Hafod Copper Works, but, thanks to the Swansea Fire Brigade the outbreak was confined to a cupola and the roof, the damage being estimated at between £300 and £400.”

[Friends of Hafod Morfa Copperworks @CopperworksHM]

It was great to welcome today's enthusiastic group on our guided tour. The amazing weather made it very hard to imagine how the valley once looked with the pollution, copper smoke and slag heaps back in the day!
Many thanks to the walk leaders and volunteers who helped out.
