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.

Wobbly but Usable
Color: Grey, Size: Standard - 4 Panel
A bit wobbly, but good enough for the price when you need a solid background for remote work calls.

Nice and easy to assemble
Color: Black, Size: Standard - 4 Panel
I absolutely love this 4-panel room divider! It was super easy to assemble — I had it set up in just a few minutes. The material isn’t too see-through, which gives just the right amount of privacy while still letting some light through. It does exactly what I needed it to do and looks so clean and sleek in my space. Perfect balance of style and function — highly recommend!

Really adorable & functional room divider! I love mine!
Color: Dark Coffee, Size: 4 Panel
Really beautiful divider. I use it out on my patio at my apartment building to provide privacy, shade & keep my things safe. At 6 foot tall and 4 panels (I strongly suggest 4 panels) it's quite a lovely addition to my home. It's delicate so handle carefully but it comes completely put together & just set it up. Being able to move it inside or outside or wherever because it's so light makes it very mobile. It's not too opaque you can see through it but if it's for total privacy use a tablecloth or something behind it to make it less see through. It's strong and big and I had a question for their cs and they responded immediately and handled it right away which is a sign of a good company. It's light so make sure you secure it if it's windy for stability.
