Princes Fountain and Fountain Cottage. The fountain was built in 1863 to commemorate the Prince of Wales wedding to Princess Alexandra on March 10 of that year.

I watch Jims page every day. I'm a Mumbles boy, spent some good years in the 60's there. I remember the Tivoli when the Townhill boys came down to fight with the Munbles boys! saw some real impressive fights there! I was also a long time practise of the Mumbles mile! I've been living in the USA for some 35 years now, and I miss the Mumbles like hell. Sites like yours and Jims bring back the old days, Thanks mate. John Ridd.
Thanks for your comments John. My sister lives in the Thistleboon area of Mumbles. We had three great weeks there this summer. Swansea has changed a lot. Thankfully the Mumbles and the beautiful Gower are much the same as we knew them. We left for Burlington, Canada in the early eighties.
