I worked for quite a few years at the nearby Whiteheads steelworks. At Christmas time, we would start off on a pub crawl from the West Of England pub, next to the transporter bridge.
Every street corner leading on to Corporation Rd had a pub. A lot of them were boarded up but there were still enough pubs left to make it quite a challenge to finally make it down to the King William pub down the other end.
Many, like myself, were Cardiff lads, but we never encountered any problems in that area in all fairness.

I wonder how many pubs are actually left on Corporation Rd these days?
We went for an office Christmas meal in the pub by the Transporter Bridge (can't remember what it was called, but it wasn't the West of England) having, for some reason, walked down Corporation Road and it was noticeable how you began to see more boarded up shops and closed pubs the further you walked towards the bridge. This would have been fifteen to twenty years ago and it wouldn't have been much of a pub crawl if we'd tried one that day.
