Arteries of International Sustainable Industry: The Swansea Canal and Its Early Railways

Description

Rhanbarth Abertawe oedd un o dirweddau diwydiannol dwys cyntaf y byd modern, ac yng nghanol y dirwedd honno yr oedd Camlas a awdurdodwyd gan Ddeddf Seneddol (1794) ac a oedd yn darparu system drafnidiaeth a alluogodd gyfres o ddiwydiannau rhyngwladol i ddatblygu a ffynnu – copr, haearn a dur, tunplat, a glo.
The Swansea region was one of the earliest intensive industrial landscapes in the modern world and at its centre was a Canal authorised by Act of Parliament (1794) providing a transport system that enabled a series of international industries to develop and thrive – copper, iron and steel, tinplate, and coal.
