A Copper Bottomed Dig
Tony and the Time Team are in Swansea, a present-day city with a rich and vibrant history. It was one of the wealthiest in England, but not from the mining of coal as many others were. Swansea used to lead the world in copper smelting, but today there’s almost nothing to be seen of this unique heritage. The team investigates one of the very first copper works, White Rock.
