As you walk around the streets & parks of Cardiff there are many plaques, statues & other monuments which tell us about the city's colourful past. For instance, why was the lighthouse erected at Roath Park to commemorate the historic voyage of Captain Scott to the Antarctic? Who was John Batchelor & why does his statue on The Hayes proclaim him to be ' The Friend of Freedom'? In this new book, you will find the answers to these questions alongside other information, such as what a tiny plaque on a camping shop can tell us about the origins of broadcasting in Wales, & the story of the humble row of 19th-century working class homes that won an architectural award some 150 years after their construction. In his latest book on the history of Cardiff, Dennis Morgan explains the stories that lie behind these memories of Cardiff in bygone days. The book is well illustrated with 200 pictures, many of which have not appeared in print before. It is an ideal volume for everyone who is interested in the fascinating story of the capital city of Wales. ...
