Time: 11am

Venue: National Waterfront Museum, Swansea

Description: These are not ghost stories, or unsolved murders, but things that do, or once did, mystify Brunel historians. For instance, at which of Brunel's tunnels, almost two miles long, does the sun shine all the way through? Or, how do you really pronounce Brunel's first name? Some of these mysteries have now been resolved, some we accepted as answered (but without proof) and some, Glyn things, we will never know the answers to.

How to book: No booking required
