there were pubs in Newtown but not on the main road.
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.
