The Copper Mine Graveyard in Swansea | Time Team

Two hundred years ago Swansea was one of the wealthiest cities in the country, if not the world. The Welsh port city once led the world in copper smelting, but today there's almost nothing to be seen of this unique heritage. As the archaeologists strip turf and shift tonnes of muck, they reveal the traces of this once-great industry and rediscover the story of the men who worked in it.
