Was born nearest to the CCS?
I was born in St David’s hospital, probably among many others on here, but who was born closest? It’s time to stake your claim.

Demolition work has started on a historic Cardiff hospital to make way for student accommodation.

Bulldozers have swept most of the west wing of the Cardiff Royal Infirmary away in Adamsdown as work starts on accommodation for more than 600 students.

The landmark building will be transformed into Glossop Hall and is one of the growing number of large-scale student accommodation developments across the city.

A baby? :hehe: nah, I thought I was going to go in to labour in the millennium stadium though, that was just from the climb to get to my seat in the back row, not sure who thought it was a good idea to sit all the way up there when I was 8 months gone.

[Maccy Blue]

St David's Hospital for me too.

[ian gibson]

Wellington street, Riverside, when it was all terraced houses back then before the slum clearance. When I was 4 years old our home, and loads of others in our neighbourhood, was deemed not fit for human occupation.

And loads of pubs, The Red Cow etc

When we was kids we always bought chips in the chip shop in Wellington street with our bus fares and walked home to Rumney

I think the red cow lasted into the mid seventies surprisingly.

I lived with my grandmother in Wells Street for a while in the sixties. Born, like many others, in St David's.

[Jonny London]

St James Hospital Tredegar. So not me either

129 Ninian Park Road isdirectly opposite Wells St. Spent tons of time in Nicky’s Corner shop buying sweets with my Mum as a kid. My old man was born and raised in Beauchamp St, Riverside - apparently quite exclusive in the 40’s and 50’s. not quite so siloubrious these days

[Heathblue]

Not me !!!!!!!!

[Majorblue]

Born in East London so I'm out on this one.

[TDA]

129 for me

I think this one has it - 0.6 miles from CCS. I was born halfway down Clive Street Grangetown, 1.3 miles from CCS. Ninian Park was closer but Straightouttacanton would still nick it by 0.4 of a mile.

[Badly Ironed Shirt]

St James Hospital Tredegar. So not me either

You're born closest to the Rec though. So take some pride in that.

[William Treseder]

I worked for a plumbing firm in Wellington St in the 80’s called GF Dursley. There was a painting and decorating company next to it and John Toshacks brother Colin worked for them.

Lived in broad street
Went to Kitchener road school from 1959 to 1964ish
