History

'Bringing History Alive' is a motto of http://www.welcometogower.co.uk/ and we are a firm believer that a knowledge of local history can enrich one's enjoyment of a given locale. Imbued with the answers to the whys, whos and whens, building become more than a particular configuration of stone, wood and glass, innanimate statues and memorials transform into rich tapestries of life and ambition and hitherto sterile landmarks team with fascinating detail and curiosities.
Explore the remarkeable stories and mini-histories that have shaped the people and landscapes of Swansea and the Gower Peninsula and add a new dimension to your appreciation of Britain's first ever "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty."
