For those who have noticed postings from Jake who says he is from "the

It's this rain that gives us the lush green and the beautifull
beaches that are "The Gower",

At the wet end of Swansea bay

When I lived in Newport Mon. in 1964-1966, if I referred to the Gower
Peninsula as The Gower, I was always corrected by the locals.
Was I correct all the time? I only ever went to the Gower Peninsula in
summer on warm sunny days, so I don't have cold soggy memories of it
like I do of Newport. If there had been more warm sunny days I would
have gone there more often.

The Lordship of Gower was composed of more that just the Gower
Peninsular.
