I was born in Hafod and went to school at Pentrhafod School, built on the sanitised copper-slag heaps. Thank you for telling me more of my heritage

Selling it to America probably what killed it of Foreign ownership of British companies is the source of most of Britain's economic problems Any profit the company made probably got invested into modernising a similar factory in the us If it had been British owned all the investments could have favoured the site it might even still be open today if private companies and government of the time had ceard about British economy and it's industry.

All but one of the U Copper works were in Copperopolis in the Swansea valley. All Uk copper imports came into Swansea Bay. 'The odd one out' was Red Jacket works at Red Jacket Pill - on the Swansea side of Brit Ferry
