My Great Uncle was Father Joseph Montague who built and was Parish Priest for Church of the Sacred Heart in 1940. He died June 20, 1962 and is burried in Morriston Cemetery. Do you have any photos of this church?? I would love to see them.

The photo's on this site are beautiful. Some enthusiastic amateur style shots, but many are truly professional. Would really like to get permission to use a couple of the images for a website (please contact me). Also wish my mother could see these images (born in Plasmarl - Heidi Monger - father owned the shoemongers), pity she's not on the 'NET. Good to see such "warm" signings in your guestbook. Keep up the excellent work, as the 'NET seems completely void of "good" images from Swansea and the neighbouring area.

Hello. I've got loads of films to sell. Actually I was gonna use them when I was in America but I couldn't. And I chucked away boxes of films. They are all Kodak films and ISO 100, 200 and APS. I've got 12 of ISO 100(36 exp.), another 12 of ISO 200(36 exp.), and 6 of APS(24 exp.) to sell at two quid each. Please email me if you wanna buy them (at least four films when you order). They are much cheaper to buy from me than buying from any other shops. Thanks.

Just taking over a photo club (Fort Myers, Florida. USA). Our club president has moved. We have about 60 active members at this time and want to continue. This was more of a social meeting. We do have field trips and speakers from time to time but I would like to be a little more organized. Looks like i'm the one everyone is looking too keep this thing going. It has not been well organized and I would like to do so. Any information would be helpful. Love your web page. It is the best I have seen. Bob Benton
