Weavers
The Weavers building was a flour mill and corn storage depot. It was designed and built by the French engineer Francois Hennebique in 1897, the first reinforced concrete building in Europe. It was demolished in 1984 in preparation for the Sainsburys development. A commemorative plaque and column from the old building stand on the Tawe footpath near the New Cut bridge.
