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.

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 )

[@GARYINLEEDS]

Did you ever visit the, Hole in the wall Cafe in, Neath? in the 1960s?

[@iaw7406]

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...
