We sprent a rather lovely, and hot 🥵, day yesterday surveying the remains of Morris Castle (SMGm371) for City & County of Swansea and Mann Williams Consulting Civil and Structural Engineers. The purpose of the survey was to produce a 3D photogrammetric model, or #digitaltwin, to aid with conservation efforts to preserve the monument. Morris Castle was erected around 1770 by the industrialist John Morris. Possibly intended as a folly sat on the top of Cnap Llwyd, the building formed four interconnected tower blocks situated around a central courtyard. Each tower block had four floors providing accommodation in separate flats for workers and families employed by John Morris. The building is important as it is one of the first tenement tower blocks for workers to have been built in Wales. #archaeology #industrial #3d #drone #photogrammetry #swansea #copper
