Landore is an inner‑city district just north of Swansea city centre in Wales, sitting beside the River Tawe and forming part of the historic Lower Swansea Valley. Once dominated by 19th‑century metalworking and heavy industry, its streets still show an industrial legacy in old workshops and terraced housing, giving the area a strong working‑class character and a sense of local history.
In recent decades Landore has seen steady regeneration, with mixed residential developments, light industry and community projects alongside major landmarks such as the city’s stadium (known as Swansea.com Stadium, formerly Liberty Stadium). Good transport links to the city centre and ongoing local investment mean the area combines industrial heritage with contemporary redevelopment and a diverse, community‑focused population.
