Pieces Of Us

By Jem Peel and Rob Sheffield.

A social history of Greenhill, Swansea which used to be a thriving urban place where Welsh and Irish people lived, worked and loved together. All of which was lost in one generation. With vivid descriptions and heartfelt anecdotes, Pieces of Us is a moving tribute to the people who made up this distinct part of Wales. The author, Rob Sheffield, shares first-person accounts of how the area formed then lost the strong bonds that held the neighbourhood together. And he describes growing up here, leaving for university, and the effect of this on identity and family.
