help with the name of a pub
My Mrs said there used to be a pub on East Moors Rd opposite the pools office.
Can anyone confirm this?

Re: help with the name of a pub
There was definitely one there during the 80/90s.
For the life of me, I can’t remember the name of it.
I think it was where the Aldi/Lidl is now

Isn't that East Tyndal St (or is now). There was a place opposite. Splott Market was on the same site

Here's a fact for you,Llanrumney does not have a public house

Re: help with the name of a pub
Yes East Tyndall Steet. I worked in the area when I was young and used to walk into town that way but I can't recall any pub, just steel works and associated companies. The first watering hole I can recall was the old celtic club on the corner of Tyndall st and Bute St I think on the west end of Newtown..
there were pubs in Newtown but not on the main road.

They have turned it into some sort of community place where you can take your kids. You can still get a drink there though.

The Cornelius was a new pub, built in the 80s next to the old Splott Market (where Lidl is now), opposite the old GKIS/BSC, then Littlewoods Pools offices. Didn’t last long, Bayside Tyres were in the building for a bit before moving behind Kwikfit on Newport Rd when it was demolished.

Yes it was behind county hall. Brains were going to make it a big music venue about 2000 and the told the landlord of the Old Arcade he had to go there as the mananger. He didn't want to go but they gave him not much choice and the offer of a pay rise. He agreed bought a car got himself a dog, A great Dane and then Brains bought 6 pubs in Brimingham and decided to scrap the Wharf so he was stuck living in the town centre with a car he couldn't park and a huge dog living in an upstairs flat. He's a bus driver now. Lovely man and kept a good ellar. Never been the same since he left.

Re: help with the name of a pub
Talking about East Tyndall street remined me about the shift changes in the steel works. They worked 2 till 10, 10 till 06, and 06 till 2, then 2 days off, what was called continental shifts and handover takeover was on the job so production was seemless. That meant that meb coming off the 10 PM finishing shift wouldn't get to the pub before last orders so every shift had a deal whereby the people coming on for 10 would come on at 9.30 to give the guys going home a chance to get to the pub. After 8 hours in there you needed a drink.
Local pubs like the Ruperra and the Cardiff Arms would have beers pulled and lined up on the bar at 10 PM ready for the guys coming off shift en-masse. A pub would be empty at 9.55 and rammed at 10. 05. lol

I worked for Allied Steel and Wire from 1987 to 1996. I worked with some people who were veterans of East Moors steel works, they would talk about those days.

I don't think it is, but Tony Bluetit often used to say "there are no pubs in Splott", may be he doesn't count the Cottage as Splott

Splott is over splott Bridge,The cottage is what they now call lower Roath, but was a kind of no mans land bewtween roath ans the railway line which is the Splott Border.
Of course in true Cardiff Tradition the Splotland pub was in Adamstown :shrug: lol

I joined on a management training scheme so got to work in Cardiff Rod Mill, Castle Wire, Somerset Wire, Cardiff Carbides, Cardiff Bar and Sections, Tremorfa Steel Works. I remember visiting the nail factory but don't think I ever worked there..there were a few other units on the Tremorfa site and in Sheffield and Scunthorpe that I got to visit

There were 2 weren't there? GKIS on East Moors, and GKN just under Splott bridge by the park. I thought that was where the nails and wire were made.

its only when you know a little of the history that you begin to understand why places like that and the Ruperra were so big. People using them just before they closed must have wondered why they were so big and empty.
There's a very good historical reason why the Landsdown was such a huge building just for up pub, too.
