Cardiff was a small town of less than 2,000 people until the
development of its docks in the 19th century. Then began a period
of rapid expansion. From 1875 onwards, as the city grew, it
absorbed its outlying districts. This book concentrates on the
varied and fascinating history of these suburbs which are today
part of the capital of Wales. Dennis Morgan offers a concise
account of the development of each area. Some of the suburbs have
long and rich histories in their own right. Others are recent
creations, designed to accommodate new businesses and a rising
population. The author describes how ancient hillforts, castles and
churches are to be found in these districts alongside the
industrial development that has transformed the city during the
last 200 years. Royal visits, memorable sporting occasions and
battles from medieval times to World War II feature in the
narrative. Dennis Morgan also recalls the brilliant careers of
world-famous individuals such as Ivor Novello, Roald Dahl and
Howard Spring. At the same time he records lesser known local
characters who made a mark on the community, together with
anecdotes and legends which play a role in this story.His book
features more than 200 illustrations, many of them not previously
published. It will be essential reading and reference for Cardiff
residents, past and present, who take an interest in their
neighbourhood and in the colourful history of the city itself.
