Tram Travel

Forget bendy buses and park & ride Schemes, Sketty folk had a much better transport solution at their disposal way back in what are often referred to as ‘the good old days’ - trams! Oh how we could do with them now. This one can be seen making its way along Eversley Road, Sketty around 1920. Perhaps a few of our readers can even remember taking a trip into town on them. The picture of days when transport and travel in our area were altogether different is just one of many like it in ‘Swansea - This was your life!’ by David Roberts. Copies are available from Bryngold Books on 01639 643961. This year's book is already in prospect so if you have any photos from way back when - right up almost to the present time, why not give us a call and play your very own part in recording our city's history.
