Oystermouth or Mumbles?
The names Oystermouth and Mumbles seem to be used interchangeably and the three new parishes of Newton, Llwynderw and Oystermouth minister to the much expanded population of this same area.
Today, the oyster-dredgers, quarrymen and trains have gone and the dialect has all but disappeared. Mumbles has now become a suburb of Swansea, Wales’ second city and yet a pronounced village atmosphere prevails, which sets it apart from the main City.
