Morriston is one of Swansea’s most historic and characterful districts, founded during the industrial boom of the 18th and 19th centuries and shaped by generations of craftspeople, traders, and community life. Centred around Woodfield Street and its surrounding neighbourhoods, Morriston remains a lively hub for independent businesses, cafés, salons, specialist shops and community spaces.
Today, the district blends heritage with modern enterprise, offering everything from artisan coffee and floristry to bespoke jewellery, beauty services, gifts, barbers, and creative retail.
