Salt, Mumbles

Located in Southend in the Mumbles area of Swansea and dates back to the late 18^th century and by 1803 called the George & Dragon.  As befalls a seaside hostelry a number of the landlords of the nineteenth century were sailors. 

The landlord in the 1870s was one Fredercik Birks who regularly complained in the ‘Cambrian Newspaper’ that bodies washed up on the beech were placed in the pub’s stables!

The licensees between 1912 to 1950 were John and Catherine Noel.

Trains brought regular customers to the Hotel after the 2^nd World War and various refurbishment befell the establishment in the 1950s and 1960s.  By 2004 Brains Brewery had taken over the George and renamed it to Salt.
