Oystermouth pigeons 
At most seaside resorts it is the gulls that gather on the seawall scavenging for visitors' titbits as they sit watching the tide. But this is Oystermouth and we are within the city of Swansea so here it is urban pigeons that congregate on the seawall.

At Limeslade Bay – 1979 South Wales Transport bus 500 was on a private tour, covering bus routes in the Swansea and Gower area. It appears to be turning into the dead-end road at Limeslade, but is being posed for photographers! The house on the right was demolished around 2017.

The bus was built in 1953 for the Eastern National company and converted to open top configuration in 1965. It moved to South Wales in 1974 to provide open top services in the Swansea Bay and Gower area. It survives in preservation.

This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761">Link</a>
