Mumbles & Gower Through Time

Brian E. Davies

4.9/5 (27709 ratings)

Description:The history of Mumbles and Gower has many facets and a number of iconic sights. The village of Mumbles is unique and Dylan Thomas was clearly fond of it, describing it as ‘a rather nice village, despite its name, right on the edge of the sea’. This old oyster-fishing community has history oozing from every nook and cranny. When Edwardian visitors used to ‘rattle along’ to Mumbles on the much-loved, but sadly lost, Mumbles Train, they enjoyed the sights of Oystermouth Castle and the delightful pier much as we can today. The promenade along the ‘Mumbles Mile’ has inevitably changed with time and the famous lifeboat now has a brand new home. The lighthouse still stands proud, perched on the outer of the two rocky islands that gave Mumbles its name. The Gower Peninsula was the first location in Britain to be designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and its stunning landscape has endured for millennia. In many ways it is timeless but it is nevertheless stimulating to explore the settlement’s past through archive images, charting the changes that have occurred over the previous century and beyond.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
