Situated at a crossroad on the road from Swansea city centre (10 km) to Penclawdd (5 km), it grew up in the early 19th century to serve small shallow collieries in the area. These collieries had disappeared by the early years of the 20th century, ..." wikipedia

There are Calvinistic Methodist chapels at Llanrhidian, Llanmorlais and Crofty, and a Welsh Congregational chapel at Three Crosses, founded in 1700, with sittings for 600 persons."
