Memory Map

By on 8 April 2013 in Heritage, Memory Map, News, Outreach News, Public Workshops, Swansea Plinth with No Comments

Since the summer of 2012 Locws International has been collecting your memories of Swansea and archiving them on a Google map online. Creating a database of stories about Swansea, about the people who grew up here, who live here and the people who visit. This is a way of capturing moments of history and people’s experiences before they are forgotten and lost.

If you would like to add your memories to the map then visit Castle Square on Thursday 11th April between 10am – 4pm.
