Interesting facts accompanied by nostalgia5
Anyone interested in finding out how Cardiff became great will appreciate this book. My great-great-grandfather was a mason at the docks, and died at the Old Sea Lock Hotel in the cholera epidemic of 1849, so I am particularly interested in those early days. This is a fascinating, informative book, and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in Cardiff's past.
