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.

Cardiff's docks naturally led to a maritime feel in its taverns, as the owners sought to lure in the sailors who arrived ashore with money to spend.

From the fairly salubrious to the downright dangerous, he plots their changing fortunes as the city itself has changed over the years.

It’s worth it, surprisingly
Size: Full, Style: 18 Inch ( Foldable)
Legitimately surprised at the size and quality. I got the full size 18” height and was worried it’d be wobbly and creaky, but it’s surprisingly stable. And for $100 in this economy? Worth. There’s no noise at all, and it’s solid. Took less than 2 minutes to assemble, truly a couple clicks and 2 hand screws. The full came in 2 pieces so the compact size together is about the size of a suitcase and very flat, we could almost take this camping it’s so handy. I don’t often write reviews but I was shocked. (This is a real human)

Highly recommend
Size: Queen, Style: 14 Inch ( Foldable)
This is a great bed frame. We have bought 3 now. It is super easy to set up. Unfold and screw two large bolts to connect the two sides. No tools needed. We first bought one for grown our son to go with the 10 inch foam mattress. We thought it would be easier to manage if he were to move. Then we bought one for our foam mattress when the box springs was wearing out. Amazing ! It fit perfectly in inside our queen size bed frame with a headboard and footboard. Love it. We also bought one as stand alone frame for the guestbed foam mattress. We're happy campers! These are strong, inexpensive and much easier to move than a platform bed or box springs.

Gorgeous bed 10/10
This bed is awesome. Sturdy, beautiful, and unique. The headboard and color and quality of wood is truly stunning, especially for the price. Super sturdy slats that screw into place and make the base very solid. I am using it with no box spring and it is working great. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Not long lasting
Size: Full, Size: Full
Very pretty bed and it seemed sturdy at first, but unfortunately it didn’t even last a month. I use the bed regularly with normal everyday use no heavy activity or excessive weight and the middle support beams still gave out completely. It might work well as a guest bed that isn’t used often, but I wouldn’t recommend it for daily use. The frame actually gave out while I was simply sitting on the corner of the bed. And before anyone assumes otherwise, I’m not a large person. I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was disappointing enough that I felt I needed to warn others.
