Crash! Bang! Whoosh!

One minute, Mr Lliwgar was enjoying a perfectly normal day in Swansea. The next, a mysterious flash of light sent him spinning through time!

When he opened his eyes, something was very wrong...

There were no cars on the roads. No mobile phones. No supermarkets. Even the famous Swansea Marina hadn't been built yet!

Mr Lliwgar had somehow travelled 200 years back in time to Swansea in 1826. Armed with nothing but his wits, a questionable sense of direction, and a packet of crisps from the future, he must discover what life was really like in Swansea before he can find a way home.

Will he survive without Wi-Fi? Can he avoid being mistaken for a wizard? And most importantly... where can he get a decent cup of coffee?

Join Mr Lliwgar on an incredible journey through time as he uncovers the sights, sounds and secrets of Swansea 200 years ago!
