THE BUILDING INDUSTRY IN THE UPPER SWANSEA VALLEY AND ITS ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL RAMIFICATIONS, c.1750 /1975. By R.O. Roberts and J. Elizabeth Hall. Published by Edwin Mellen Press, 2000. The book's interest here is that it concerns the local building firm of David Davies & Son of Alltwen which was founded by Henry Davies in 1875 and which had ceased trading by 1975. This is a review only of this book by Paul Reynolds - published in the Morgannwg journal, vol 45 in 2001. Now also included here
