==Notable features== [[Mumbles Pier]] was opened in 1898 at the terminus of the [[Swansea and Mumbles Railway]], which was the world's first horse-drawn public passenger train service. It opened 2 Mar 1807 and used horse power to 1877, then steam power to 1929, when it switched to double deck overhead electric tram power, lasting till the line closed in Jan 1960.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.welshwales.co.uk/mumbles_railway_swansea.htm |title=The Swansea and Mumbles Railway - the world's first railway service}}</ref> [[Mumbles Lifeboat Station]] has operated since 1866. In 1947, the entire lifeboat crew was lost at sea, attempting to rescue the crew of the ''[[SS Samtampa]]'', in what has become known as the [[Mumbles lifeboat disaster]]. The nearest church, [[All Saints' Church, Oystermouth]], contains memorials to the crew.
