Taff Vale on Queen street, great pub

The Alexandra at the bottom of Queen street, later became the pig and whistle and then casa Gils, great pub, fucking cinema there now

The Cavalier, later the Michaelston, in Ely. Boarded up and rotting away now, this pub was busy every night throughout the 70's and 80's, shame.

The Anthonys, later the Caerau, in Ely, gone.

I get very nostalgic in my old age. For me the best days of drinking, and the best ever pubs in our lovely city, are all gone.

The York in town lies derelict, breaks my heart, this pub was one of the most cosmopolitan in the city, all races and walks of life drank together happily in here.

can't beat the great atmosphere of a pub. i drink in a club which is a lovely club and good locals and staff but i miss my local pub which closed down years ago. we all still talk about the place now. great memories

Just got told that the Royal oak in Whitchurch is gone, anyone know if that's true? Liked that pub when Leighton and Sandra had it.

The old pub where Tresillian Way is now. Cant remember the name. Not the Custom House it was nearer Central Station.

Missed this, was it the Bristol Joe?

Loved the Newcastle Exhibition bitter that they served in there, they had it in the Fleurs to, I always had a few in there before 2-10 and 10-6 shifts over East Moors

Here’s a pic of The London Style bear St Pats school in Grangetown. I lived around the corner in the Penarth Dock, but don’t have one of it

All demolished in the mid to late 60’s

I think you might be thinking of the Glendower.
