It is sometimes said that the history of a town can be seen in its public houses, and indeed they are often among the oldest surviving buildings. A nostalgic look at some of the great hostelries of the capital city.

As far back as 1340 the burgesses of Cardiff employed two ale-tasters to ensure the standard of the local beer was up to scratch. One of the oldest inn sites in the city is that occupied by the Owain Glyndwr in Church Street.

Called the Mably Arms in 1731, it has since been known as the Kemys Tynte Arms, the Tennis Court and the Buccaneer, before taking its current name in the 1970s.

Measure first saves time!

I liked the product but didn’t fit my vanity and my wife said to send it back that it wasn’t needed for her hair dryers. Great idea just wrong for me.
