Great video , I have recently taken a strong interest in the history and development of where I live in Swansea . It has immense history that has made me start digging in the archives for old photos and documents .

Great video , thanks for sharing

I have clear memories of that time. Travelling as a young child with Mam on the bus journey to Swansea, which snaked it's way through the villages from Ystradgynlais via Ynysmeudw, Clydach, Landore & eventually Swansea. The canal was a favourite, I was sad when they filled it in. The smell of industrial wasteland was something you don't forget.

@rhiannegriffiths Thank you for your comment! It is great that the video has provoked your memories of the valley. I just thought it was amazing to see it in colour because all the black and white images make it look more remote and distant than it was.
