When my daughter was at Swansea University she had a year in Port Tennant. I remember passing one terraced house where there was a discarded settee in an overgrown front garden. Next door a woman was polishing the front window stones of her spotlessly clean home.
It was only a little word play.

And I did part of my growing up in Ely, Highbury Road and pethybridge Road.

And I agree about the community spirit, the Ely festival was slways something we looked forward to as kids
