Did you know?
Morriston is rich in history with a traditional high street lined with independent shops and heritage buildings and was the first planned industrial settlement in Wales. Created by pioneering Swansea industrialist Robert Morris, the town was laid out in the 1780s to attract and house workers in the expanding copper-smelting industry of the lower Swansea valley, a cradle of the early Industrial Revolution.
Morriston was once at the heart of innovation in stained glass and the birthplace of the partnership (Martin & Thomas) that led to Celtic Studios (now closed), Wales’s first major stained‑glass firm producing work for churches across Wales, England, and abroad.
Morriston is home to one of Wales’s best‑known male voice choirs - Morriston Orpheus.
