Roll of Honour & Extracts from the logbook

at Nanna Todd's in Southend Parade

By Carol Powell

Close on one hundred years ago, Robert and Margaret Todd ran a greengrocery-cum-sweet shop, at The Parade.

The displays were gradually and tragically transformed into spontaneous tributes to those who failed to return home, becoming Mumbles' unofficial Memorial.
