Fascinating list here of the old pubs of Cardiff. It's amazin how many pubd there were in the city centre.
But what drew my attention was the Clifton in broadway.
It says "formally know as the Tredegar" how odd is that given that the tredegar people remember now was at the opposite end of clifton Street.

I was also a regular in here,used to go in there with my mate Tony Debono [god rest his soul] we used to order chicken curry & chips/rice 1/2 & 1/2 but I think it was Mulligatawny soup with bits of chicken in.
It was cheaper than you could make it for yourself about 3 quid
I'm sure i remember the ship and pilot. I remember another pub in the docks area the name escapes me maybe something " Down " ??
All i remember that there wasn't any street lights and we walked across a dusty dark carpark/waste ground to get to it the pub itself was hardly lit.. like an horror film Maybe something " Down " ??
I used to love a pint in the custom house to there were some great characters in there..
Just digging into the archives a little, it says that Charlotte Street (just off Bute Street) had 12 pubs along it. Just gives you an idea of how the docklands of Cardiff used to be in its heyday.

Ship & Pilot was 36 James St on the corner of the street that led to Mount Stuart Square. The Ship Hotel was 10 James Street on the corner of Ship Lane in direction of Bute Street. The only 'down' I could find was the Loundoun Hotel on Bute Street. There were once 30 or more pubs along Bute Street. Some pub crawl!
