Thanks :)

There was an island in the River Tawe, close to where the copper works are. The River has had its direction changed twice. Originally the river ran through the strand and was used to supply swansea castle. Wind street below the castle was named thus because it wound alongside the river. I do not believe that swansea was named from a viking. The name has been given to the area at some point but i think it was probably an englishman or some such that did so. On an old map i came across another name for swansea which was Llys Waun Isaf. Territory in the lower valley is what it translated to. Which sounds more like a welsh name to me and one in which i favour. It is pretty much like a big hill in swansea we call Kilvey hill, named after a person but it has its welsh name which seems to be forgotten, Y Bygwrn, if my memory serves me. Dont recall what it means. My point is though, the original or other names can be lost and the name it has, can be seen as the name it always had. Swansea had its own name way way before any vikings landed here and to suggest otherwise is pretty dumb to me. Like the natives cant name their own area lmao
