- Almost 50 years after filming "The Lower Swansea Valley Where No Trees Grew" in 1963, (q.v.) I returned in March 2012 to the places where I had shot those scenes; and I recorded what I found. This video begins with a general overview and then continues with detailed shot by shot, before and after comparisons, together with the locations and coordinates of each shot. It was pleasing to find so much improvement and also that now there is emphasis on saving the remaining physical evidence of the global importance of this valley in the industrial revolution, in past centuries. It was slightly modified and re-released in 2016.
By the way. My Step Dad, was a foreman at,
Velindre, Steelworks. Alfred Lockley. He enjoyed,
Golf, very much! Welsh Amateur, Champion, 7, Ashleigh Terrace,
was his address, while playing at, Jersey Marine, where I caddied!
He passed away, a long time ago. Great memories remain. Thanks, Frank.

Thank you so much for your work. My Mum came from the Mumbles, Vera Knight, I loved our holidays in Swansea at Westcross.
Thank you 🙏
It’s a nice place to ride my bike and walk my dog now.
Totally unrecognisable from the previous landscapes.
I was brought up in Morriston, and Landore, spending many hours playing with my pals in the moonscape that existed in the days prior to this scheme taking place. It was a truly dreadful environment.
Fab videos frank! Thanks
Brilliant videos, can remember Swansea as a small child in the seventies and my grandfather taking me to various work sites ( he was store man at carbon blacl )
Did you ever visit the, Hole in the wall Cafe in, Neath? in the 1960s?
how were the toxins removed ? were they put in the sea or a landfill or were they chemically changed ? is the wildlife affected by consuming anything growijg on the soil ?
Fascinating but my goodness it would be SO much better if the awful muzak track was removed. It jars and makes the commentary difficult to hear...
