at the heart of walking

Swansea Ramblers

History of Swansea Docks

A walk and talk with Professor John France

27^th May 2024

Leader: John France

The Chair of Swansea Ramblers is a Professor of Medieval History and has a lot of knowledge about the more recent history of Swansea Docks.

We had a lot of people turn up at Sainsbury's for the walk and talk. The weather was overcast but cleared up a bit during the walk. John told us how the area had evolved and of its decline in the 20th. Century.

After the walk some of us went to the Queens Hotel for refreshments.
