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

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.

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

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.
