Old Cardiff Pictures

I used to have a stall at that market in Ely, selling mis-shaped Cadbury’s cakes.

Looked busy to be fair

I remember when you had that bit of liquorice on your old boy……..you were f*cking all sorts

The picture is taken on the last day before decimilisation came in… not when Morgan’s ceased trading.

I also had you down for much younger than that😜

I had an easy paper round

Great photos, but I looked at them thinking Cardiff hasn’t changed as much as I would have thought it had in fifty years.

David Morgan’s didn’t close in 1971 though did it, seems much more recent than that to me.

I was living in Fairwater from the early sixties and I can’t remember that Swiss Cottage ever being occupied.

You mis read the caption under the photo - it says on the last day before decimalisation, not closure.
