Description
A vibrant and multicultural city, Cardiff is well known for its lively pub scene. From cosy, traditional inns to large, cosmopolitan bars, residents of the Welsh capital have never had a problem finding somewhere to wet their whistle. Cardiff has changed a great deal over the years, and many of these developments can be seen reflected in the city's drinking establishments. In Cardiff Pubs Through Time, local historians Brian Lee and Amanda Harvey invite the reader on a pictorial tour of Cardiff's pubs and breweries, imparting some useful local knowledge along the way. Many of these places are now lost, but this beautiful collection of old and new photographs aims to ensure that this fascinating aspect of Cardiff's history is never forgotten.
