Oh how I wish the Grosvenor was still there and full of the wonderful people who frequented it
Proper pub
Looking at the blocked up windows reminded me of an amusing tale. The late Brian Keogh, an excellent old bricklayer, was involved. Brian didn’t like the wet weather at all and there’d be no chance of him turning up for work at the hint of a raindrop. The one wet day, no Brian, so his labourer Midgie Drane thought he’d have a go at laying and came up with a plan. Load out inside, get the mixer indoors and away to go. Of course he blocked himself in, Midgie stayed on the shovel after that experience.
I’d like to see them but holy moly WalesOnline is a crap website on mobile
Great pictures,but the one where the lad is playing on rubble is not Portmanmoor rd.It is Splott Road.
I remember playing on an old steam train in the park when visiting my grandparents back in the 70's. Bessie it could have been named?
Pretty sure it was restored and now runs in Blaenavon at The Big Pit.
My mum grew up in Wimborne Street.
I think the little lad playing football is Ronnie Actie one of the innocent men fitted up for the lynette white murder.
