You are invited to a free talk at Landore Social Club to discover the links between the world-renowned Neath Abbey Iron Works and the copperworks industry. Swansea became known as Copperopolis due to its once vast and thriving copper industry. One of the key factors in the development of the copper industry in the Lower Swansea Valley was the use of modern technology of the day, which included the use of quality machines produced by Neath Abbey Iron Works.
Peter Richards is a trustee with the Friends of Neath Abbey Iron Company and what he does not know about the iron works is probably not worth knowing!
