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.

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.

St David's Hospital for me too.
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 etcQuote:

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 daysQuote:

Not me !!!!!!!!
Born in East London so I'm out on this one.
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.Quote:
