(3) Where am I?

Sara Allwright,

The marina opened in 1859. Copper smelting had become a major activity in the lower valley in the 18th century, due to the plentiful supplies of coal. This area earned the nickname “coppercropolis’.

In 1905, a French sailing ship, ‘St Patrick’ exploded and sank in the South Dock. The dock closed in 1969 and reopened as a marina in 1982.

  5. How beautiful there. I especially love mountains and I am interested of castles. They are always looks stunning. That’s why I love Europe because of its architecture and it’s how the place works, barely cars, and people walks. I love like that.

  16. I haven’t walked this far down. But I have been close. And out of 3 holidays, I only went down near once, on my second holiday.

    So as it has been some time and I may have not observed fully. I am not feeling totally confident in the answer I give. But is this Brighton?
