Digital Streams Tawe

The Digital Streams Tawe project enabled residents of Swansea to explore the river that flows through their city, from it's source in the Black Mountains to where it flows into the sea. Over four weeks the group visited many places on the rivers journey, exploring and photographing the river and it's landscape, the flora and fauna around it and the way that we interact with it - for good or bad.

Week 1
The Tawe has the beautiful Black Mountains as it's source, being created on the slopes,  just below Llyn Y Fan Fawr. After a few hours photographing the stunning landscape, we boarded the minibus and went further downstream to Craig Y Nos, built by the famous Adelina Patti.

Week 2 , took us downstream to Godre Graig and Clydach

Week 3, Liberty Stadium to Whiterock.
As the  Tawe flows towards the sea, it passes through the part of Swansea known as the Copper Quarter, where the remains of the old copper and tin industry remain.

Week 4 - the Marina to the sea, The final stretch took us around the Marina before a trip up the river by barge, affording a unique view of the river, from the river.
