7 Years i lived in Splott, Not sure I went in the Tred, always looked a bit rough for me but played darts for the Carlillion (spelling) club on Splott road bridge. Think i used to go in a pub on Habershon Street right hand side Adamsdown side of Splott road

The tred was my first local when I moved down from Scotland .
I thought it was charming pub .

The Roath Carlylian Club has been The Old Illtydians Club for a number of years now. The other pub you mention I imagine is The Cardiff Arms on Railway St (the pub, the recently retired Coomber had before The Canton), sadly, now a block of flats as is The Grosvenor, Ruperra & The Moorlands. Apart from Splott Cons & Fleur’s (not The Fleurs as some call it, it was named after the woman who owned it, although the sign outside now reads The New Fleurs) Splott is moving towards being the new Temperance Town.

Re: Splott Boozer

I guess it's a lot to do with how you define Splott. I was about to suggest the Moria, and the Splotlands, but were they in Splott, or in Adamsdown?

Re: Splott Boozer

And what about the Bertram, the Locomotive, or the New Dock Tavern? Roath?

When my nan lived in Bridgend street and visiting on Sundays, i was often sat on the step outside the Winbourne and the Bomb with Dad having a swift couple of pints whilst waiting for the bus I'm sure he was always a little early for the bus so the excuse could be made for a pint.

I think the Tred was owned by the Bishops at some point ?

My old man would do the same with me, but it was the old arcade. I'd wait outside the side entrance that leads into the market and he'd come out with 2 pints of dark and a packet of oxo crisps and a panda pop for me. I used to look through the door while he was getting served, full of proper drinkers and not that much conversation going on.
