Industrial architecture at Scotts Pitt When the pit was operational, there was a major flooding issue.  This building used to house a Cornish Beam Engine to pump water from the workings.  More recently it appears to have become the haunt for local youths.

Church of St John The new industrial village of "Morris Town" (today: Morriston / Treforys) was laid out on a grid plan in the lower Swansea Valley in 1768. The design envisaged the building of a church in the middle of the community's main crossroads, to serve as the spiritual and visual focal point of the new township. Although the first church on the site opened in 1789, it was a temporary building. The present church of St John opened in 1857 and was finally declared redundant as a place of worship in 1999-2000.

Weirs on the river Tawe Taken from the high west bank near a residential street. There is a cycle path along the east bank which can be joined from Ferryboat road. The difference in height between the banks here makes me question whether there was ever really a ferry though.
