Our village is the gateway to beautiful Gower; the first area of outstanding natural beauty designated in Britain. Gowerton was not always the residential village it is today. From the mid 19th Century it grew into an industrial centre with Railways Coalmines, a Chemical Works, a Tinplate Works and a Steel Works. All of these had disappeared by the 1970s. The pictures illustrate these and the people and places in our village, past and present.
