So Plymouth Woods through to St Fagans, Trelai, Birdie's Lane, The Regent, Grand Avenue, Ely Bridge, Victoria Park were all in walking / bike distance.
Town on the bus for Empire Pool, Sasparilla, Wimpy, Spillers, a platform ticket at Cardiff General/Central (can't remember when it changed).
School at St Francis then Mostyn.
Often ended up playing football off Heol Trelai on the park opposite The Highfields. That was a long haul home when it got dark and cold.
Our house in Archer Rd had an outside toilet (we had one inside as well in the upstairs bathroom).
I went to the Church School at the bottom of Archer Rd and my Mum still attends the church. I’m a defector and heading to hell.

Used to play British bulldog in the street as there wasn’t many cars in those days,used to use a old skate and a book to sit on to go down the hill days before skateboards
