Shops, churches, pubs, social clubs, libraries, parks, schools, streets, windowsills, gardens, pavements... These public spaces can have an extraordinary effect on well-being in a community. They bring people together and form the bonds that lead to people supporting each other.

With vivid descriptions and heartfelt anecdotes, Pieces of Us is a moving tribute to the people who made up this distinct part of Wales. The author, Rob Sheffield, shares first-person accounts of how the area formed then lost the strong bonds that held the neighbourhood together. And he describes growing up here, leaving for university, and the effect of this on identity and family.

From this story of Greenhill arise implications for community development everywhere, including the importance of collaboration between local residents and government.
