The Ty Pwll Coch pub Cowbridge rd East Victoria Park.The name Pwll Coch “Red Pool” comes from a pool in the River Ely that supposedly filled with blood in the battle of St Fagans in 1648.Due to the straightening of the river,the pool no longer exists.Until c1875, Pwll Coch was part of the township of Ely, roughly where the Victoria Park area is nowadays,until it was included into Canton and subsequently Cardiff in the same year.
