My Nan used to be a barmaid in this pub. I can just about remember it , in the photo it looks an impressive building a shame they had to knock it down, but at the time most of the houses down the bottom of Splott had to be cleared as most were in disrepair and some were declared as slums.
I can remember when they started clearing all the streets in the area and we used to play in the old houses when the families who lived there were relocated to places like Llanrumney and Ely.
Lost some schoolmates who I have never seen since , although I have seen a few over the years.
