Yep, at the time that tower was built, surely there was plenty of other land available.

Also worth mentioning the original Queen Street station.

Good call on Queen St Station. Especially when you look at what's replaced it.

County Cinema Rumney & The Old Cross Inn ( its all we had in the East )

County Cinema Rumney & The Old Cross Inn ( its all we had in the East )

I lived at the back of the Carpenter's Arms for many years, of course the County cinema was long gone, however, "The Old Cross Inn" has gone too? I'm surprised to hear that, if it is indeed the case. I left the area a couple of years before they demolished the "Carp's". I would have thought without competition from the Carp's the Cross Inn would have done a good trade? ... so, what stands on the site of The Old Cross Inn now , because there was a decent amount of room with the car park and small beer gardens??

I was a bit confused when LoM mentioned The Cross with the long gone County cinema

The cross inn is still there mate, like you say the carps has gone, and the goodies down the other end of llanrumney has gone to. Both well known pubs ruined by to many idiots causing trouble in them
