Memories of the Train
The historical facts of the railway cannot bring to life the atmosphere and excitement of those times, as can memories, writings and memorabilia.
Everyone had their own particular experiences of riding on the Mumbles Train, whether by horse, steam or electric locomotion.
Over the years, locals and visitors alike have contributed their reminiscences to Oystermouth Historical Association in the form of paintings, poems, prose, photos and souvenir items.
They were the people who had travelled, lived and worked alongside and on the Mumbles Railway and who captured the essence of the world’s first passenger railway in such a unique way.
