    Really pleased to see commentaries going beyond the often simplified and generic exploration of Tiger Bay/Butetown. Love the story around Mr Ali at the end of this piece.

    Really interesting to watch videos like this. I started my apprenticeship in Cardiff docks in the dark nights after work I would run up Bute St to get the bus home and definitely wouldn't go up Colindon Rd in the dark 🤣

    The whole area was kinda weird i remember it being broken up into different areas separated by certain roads and the Glamorganshire Canal,like Pomeroy,The Docks and Butetown and god forbid you would say someone was from Butetown if you lived in the Docks,also people tend to forget some of them weren't mixed that much at least before the mid to late 60s...
    I was born in 18 Eleanor Street just off Bute Esplanade it was next to Eleanor St school we moved out about 1965 i visit sometimes to remember those that have passed we were a very large family and when i`m there the memories seem stronger...

    Was that Frederick de Courcey in centre front row of Gospel mission photo? He was an entrepreneur who built some of Cardiff's arcades.

    Not even 60 seconds in and a black guy is talking racism. Typical!

      He was speaking his experience with gentle humour and understanding. As a white woman, I think he came across as a lovely person actually.
