A beautiful song from Max Boyce's album, We all had Doctor's Papers! called Swansea Town.....I used to play this when I was in the army and very homesick!

Long away, but still in love. Of all the varieties of Welsh, the Jacks are in a class off their own.

Actually, it was written by John Davies. Billy Jewell got a credit because they were songwriting partners at the time. Max heard John Davies singing it at a Saturday night dinner and dance at the Royal Ivy Bush Hotel in Llanelli. Max was there with his wife and it all went on from there. John Davies went on to write the middle eight for Harry Secombe who also wanted to record it but the original version had nowhere for his voice to go.

+Brett Godefroi no it doesn't, and it sounds incredibly racist. I personally think most of the Welsh I have met are lovely people. There are good and bad from all countries. And looking at your comments you're a bad example of where ever you are from.

there were 10 photos of the liberty brian. out of about 50! the images I used were my own personal photos, not taken from the internet which wouldnt have been personal to me....and the easy way out! so at my age I wouldn't have had any photos of the mumbles train etc...
@MOGGS19427 жыл бұрын
I've only seen your reply, andrew. So, 20% photo's of a structure that didn't exist back when Swansea WAS a Town, but as you say, it is your video and it's a personal thing. It's a shame, for the outsiders who don't know much, if anything, about old Swansea, that an opportunity was missed to show it's former glories. There are numerous images available of the great Town. Regards.

Thank you . I miss Wales and home terribly. I miss the warmth and love of us welsh. I miss the view across to tolbot from Kenfig. The pub landlord that had a bit of walbur cake and a warm bottle of mans ale waiting for me as I cycled past his pub window.

Too much attention on the Liberty Stadium, which didn't exist when Swansea was a Town. I suspect the creator of video is a Swans' fan, and obsessed with them. It's a pity, since there is a lot more he could have included here. The old Mumbles railway; the Slip Bridge; Hafod Works; Oystermouth Castle; Clyne Gardens, etc.
