Good morning, Swansea!
This is the last mid-week edition Swansea Scoop for 2025, so I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for reading!
Many of you have emailed to let me know how much you enjoy the Wednesday newsletter, and it’s been a lot of fun to research and write it throughout the year - I’ve covered nearly 50 topics ranging from the Mumbles Railway to The Great Cyclino, and the Pluckness Monster! 👹
As for the future of the Wednesday Scoop in 2026? More history, definitely. And I also hope to highlight more of the great people and stories happening in Swansea today.
For this week, I’ve rounded up every mid-week Scoop from 2025, grouped by category with links to read any you’ve missed (or would like to enjoy again!). Please continue to share the articles with your friends and family!
Before I go, an extra special thanks to everyone who has given us a tip or become a monthly member through our page on Buy Me A Coffee. Your support means the world and helps us to keep the lights on (literally!)
Happy New Year! I’ll catch you on Sunday 🙂
