From the 1860s, residents of the town were commenting sadly on the rapid changes that were taking place, and at least one local artist found a ready market for his views of disappearing landmarks. What those long gone residents would think of the Cardiff of today one can only imagine. This compelling book doesn’t contain any artist’s impressions – things have moved along a bit since then – but a selection of fascinating old photographs paired with modern ones taken from the same spot as those photographers of a century or so ago. Many of Cardiff’s landmark buildings have been demolished, luckily many also remain and are still recognisable. Younger readers will be able to visit places of entertainment, work and worship that their parents or grandparents have told them about, while for older readers it will be a real walk down Memory Lane.

Cardiff: Those Were The Days! is different from Brian Lee's previous two books - Cardiff Then and Now and Memory Lane Cardiff - in that it focuses more on people and less on places. But that is not to say that some of the well-known, but sadly lost landmarks of this historic city have been ignored. The reader will come across many hitherto unpublished pictures of Cardiff, which is just a couple of years away from celebrating its centenary as a city and 50 years as the capital city of Wales. The opening chapter of this eagerly awaited book, A Vanished Cardiff, shows the houses in the central area of the city being demolished to make way for office blocks and shops. Next comes Around And About which takes the reader on a trip to parts of Cardiff that are now just a memory, such as the Glamorgan Canal, Pengam Airport and the famed Cardiff Arms Park.In Famous Faces, we meet the Prince and the Princess of Wales, Pope John Paul, Archbishop Runcie, Viscount Tonypandy, singers Tony Bennett and Ivor Emmanuel, and a number of other stars of stage, screen and radio, while many Cardiffians are sure to come across pictures of themselves or their parents in Happiest Days Of Their Lives, as a number of school photographs from different districts are to be found within the pages of this enthralling book. The chapters Leisure And Pleasure and Special Occasions will give readers an insight into how Cardiffians in the 1930s, 40s and 50s enjoyed their free time, while Celebrations takes in such events as the post-war street parties, Corpus Christie, St Patrick's Pipe Band and other happy events before concentrating on World of Work and Sporting Moments. Finally this book, which will fascinate readers of all ages, ends with a special selection of pictures from the Capitol Theatre's official scrapbook.

Originally opened in 1921, the Capitol cinema entertained generations of cinemagoers until its closure in 1978. This book provides the first detailed history of one of the busiest entertainment venues in the city. The cinema had an eventful history, from the 10,000 people who queued to see the final-day screening of The Robe in 1953 to music concerts featuring the likes of The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, and Bob Dylan, and the live screening of Ali fights in the 1960s and 1970s. The book contains numerous contributions from former employees and visitors to the Capitol alongside contemporary press cuttings; combined they bring to life the eventful history of this important landmark in Cardiff history.

As a discerning reader of nineteenth-century American fiction, Englishman Colin Ware is familiar with the tradition of transcending disastrous love affairs by booking the next ocean liner to Europe. Now that he has experienced the pain and humiliation of heartache firsthand, he decides to try this cure in reverse. New Cardiff, Vermont, may be an infinitesimal blot on the rural American landscape, but to Colin it's the ideal place to mend his broken heart. The townsfolk are a quirky, endearing lot, and they welcome the migrating artist into their fold. Colin does his part by capturing his adopted countrymen and women in charcoal and ink. He even discovers love again -- with Mandy, an attendant at the Shining Shores nursing home. When Colin's ex arrives to woo him back to her and his native land, he has to choose between his new love and the woman he's known for years. With its pitch-perfect dialogue, New Cardiff takes readers on the exhilarating cross-cultural odyssey of a man hurtling headlong into life.

The Cardiff Five written by Satish Sekar and has been published by Waterside Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017-11-15 with Political Science categories.
This fresh edition of Satish Sekar’s classic work brings events up to date as at 2017 and includes matters that the author was prevented from publishing sooner. Among other things it deals with the collapse of the 2011 trial of police officers and others concerning the original miscarriage of justice in this case and in a new Epilogue calls for a Truth and Justice Commission. The author shows how this extreme miscarriage of justice destroyed families, divided communities and undermined confidence in the criminal justice system. The book takes the reader from the sadistic killing of Lynette White in Cardiff in 1988, via the subsequent investigation and trial to the aftermath of the folding of the 2011 trial over ‘lost’ documents that later materialised. But above all it deals with the hard scientific facts of the first vindication case of the DNA-age.
