THE GLAMORGAN. A Butetown back street pub near the wharf was still going in the 1960s.

• Whereas the Quebec was a centre for jazz, the Glamorgan used to have its own group there on Friday and Saturday nights. It wasn't as popular as the Quebec, and seemed forgotten in many ways.
• There was another Glamorgan in Adam Street, but that was mostly accommodation.
• North Church street was the city side of St Mary's Church, a walkthrough to get to the east wharf area.
