The Old lifeboat Station in the foreground, built in 1883/4, is now a private property.
The transfer of the Station to the pier took place in 1920
In 1866 the Martha & Anne Lifeboat was moved from Swansea to The Mumbles,
where she was housed on the shore under the shadow of Mumbles Hill
and was launched and re-housed along a stone slipway by means of block and tackle.
