Landore New Quay is a post-medieval and modern quay located in Swansea, Wales, situated within the Scheduled Ancient Monument designation GM484. The structure reflects the industrial and maritime development of the Swansea area, particularly associated with the region's copper smelting and metal industries which flourished from the eighteenth century onwards. The quay represents the infrastructure required to support the movement of raw materials and finished goods through what became one of Britain's most significant industrial centres during the nineteenth century. As a surviving example of post-medieval transport infrastructure, it contributes to understanding the physical development of Swansea's docks and the commercial networks that connected Wales to wider British and international trade.
