A SWANSEA GREAT WAR MEMORIAL IS COVERED OVER
In November 2017, The Hafod Isha Great War Memorial was boxed over and covered by a signboard.
This workplace Memorial had been put in place by the men’s ‘fellow employees’, rather than by the company itself is on the outside of the building, which used to be the entrance to the works, in what used to be one of the prime areas of the non-ferrous metals industry in Wales.
The stone monument lists the names of the eleven men killed in the war and look forward to the time when I can once again view the memorial'.
