Swansea Copper: A Global History - Book Launch

During the eighteenth century, a revolutionary new ‘Welsh process’ of efficiently smelting copper led to Swansea becoming the epicentre of the global copper industry.

It’s this incredible transnational history that has provoked a ground-breaking new study from Chris Evans and Louise Miskell.
