When he talks about 'The Great War', not realising what's to come in a fe years. That sent a shiver down my spine
Likewise
I love these videos!
I am from Wales
Amazing!
Videos from the 80s: "Wow! How much it has changed!" Videos from the 30s: "Wow! How little it has changed!" (That doesn't apply to the docks.)
A mete thousand students at Cardiff university!
"Our great city of the West." Interesting that Wales is only mentioned in the name of the National Museum.
Cardiff went into decline after they closed the Top Rank Suite!!!!!!!!!!!
Seemed more relaxed and easy im them days prob less crime and no drugs easier life
My gran swan in roath lake
My father did too, he came from Gabalfa and it was common back then to swim in the lake. Also, Llandaff fields had an open air swimming pool which I swam in as a girl. Sadly, things don't often change for the better.
Swam with the swans.
Cardiff went into decline in the late 60,s and thatcher killed it off when she came to power. The greatest coal export docks in the world no longer exists. I was born in Cardiff 1962
Nothing to do with Thatcher ~ Cardiff's decline is mostly due to the criminally incompetent City Councils, over decades, who have been destroying everything in sight. Devolution didn't help either. It just gave yet another Government layer to be paid for out of local money, that otherwise could be spent on improvents and/or preservation.
