One Sketch #81) Swansea Tram

Alas, we are reduced
To little more than
Rattling ghosts.
Fondly remembered
Perhaps even loved
But gone.
Not for good,
But forever.

I couldn't help returning to one of my favourite subjects. When I moved to South Wales in 1986, I'd never heard of the Mumbles trams before. Well, to be fair the tracks were ripped up before I was born. But the Mumbles railway was the first ever passenger railway in the world - horse drawn, but nonetheless, the first.
