The Palace Theater and Albert Hall on 01:12 - Aug 1 by Robbie | Never visited St. Thomas or Port Tennant much in my younger days , played football at that pitch overlooking the docks way back in the day , cannot remember the name alas . Read the Cape Horner pub was named after the copper mined in the Swansea area was sent round the Cape of Good Hope by Swansea sailors . Glynn Vivian was the businessman . Morriston monkeys , a yarn or sailors taking strange creatures from their travels back to the area and asking the locals to hold the animal for a small donation towards their beer . There again it could be that strange looking tree on Vicarage Road junction . |
The river was the boundary for me. Over the river lay temptation and sin | |

Maesteg Park is the pitch you refer to , where an over top ( knee breaker) really finished my footballing career. Swansea sailors were famous for traversing the horn when many others shied away hence the nickname. One of the last remainders of Morriston monkeys was a pub located near the start of Neath road ,shut for a while and just reopened as the Swan, The tree you you refer to is called a monkey tree another famous one is in West Cross, Here endeth the lesson. | |
