Added comment, the main picture is pre-war so football pitch in the main picture cannot be due to swans moving out for anti aircraft guns. Football must have been played at St.Helens already.

Footbridge; now apparently half dismantled; only the steps each side are left. Used to be wide enough to have seats with sea views.

The "Mumbles train" tram tracks are just visible, along with the gantries carrying the electric cables to power the trams.

I believe this road had a different name prior to the coronation of King Edward VII, 1901.
