It was a pleasure to welcome Gowerton Local History Group to the Mansion House this afternoon for the 20th in our series of Swansea 50 events to celebrate the our anniversary of being granted city status.
They are a group of local residents with a keen interest in recording, collating and preserving the local history of Gowerton and surrounding areas, from the earliest recording to the present day. They meet on the second Monday of the month at 10.30am in Gowerton Library. Each meeting usually lasts two hours and is lively and informative. They maintain a local history website here.
As you would expect the group were very interested in the history of the Mansion House and of the Mayoralty, and of course the chain itself, which is always the centre of attention wherever I go.
We were joined by their local councillor, Sue Jones and enjoyed a lively chat over afternoon tea.
