The houses and public edifices and institutions are of recent erec- tion. A new and costly market-place was opened in 1830, and a new tish-market in 1847. Smelting and refining copper is the staple trade of tlie town, and the chief source of its prosperity. The coal obtained in the vicinity is peculiarly adapted for smelting pur|>o3es, and great quantities of ore are brought hither to be smelted, not only from the copper-mines of Britain, but from Cuba and the west coast of South America. In th...e immediate vicinity of the town, there are smelt- iiig-works, in which about 185,800 tons of copper, coi)per ores, silver ores, and zinc ores (equal in value to about £4,000,000) are smelted annually. In 1859, a large floating dock, 13 acres in extent, was opened by the side of the harbour. Its north side is lined with warehouses and staiths for the shipment of coals, which are brought to the wharfs by the South Wales, the Vale of Neath, the Swansea V'alley, and the Swansea and Llanelly Railways.
