Information About

Ely, Cardiff




The land was once owned by the Earl Of Plymouth , who dictated that Alcohol may not be sold on the land. As a result, like other plots of land with similar conditions (e.g. Manselton in Swansea ), the boundaries of the old estate can be approximated by the locations of Public House s around the area. To attract business from the local populace, establishments would be built as close to it as possible without actually being in Ely (local establishments are technically in Caerau and Fairwater ).

There are numerous Public Houses in the Ely area, most notably the Culver House Cross with it's various patrons, look out for Dixie and Okie. Proberbly the best public house was the Dusty Forge which was closed down a number of years ago and turned into a youth center. Other public houses are the Michealston Inn ( the cavalier of old ) and the Bridge.
