Cardiff, Swansea and the Coast

City

CARDIFF, whose docks exported more coal than anywhere on earth and whose TIGER BAY / BUTETOWN held one of the oldest multi-ethnic communities in Britain — Somali, Yemeni, Greek, Maltese, Caribbean, West African, Chinese and Irish seafarers and their families from the nineteenth century, with the halal butchers and boarding-house kitchens that went with them. SWANSEA, with its indoor market, its COCKLES and LAVERBREAD stalls, and the Gower peninsula behind it. Plus Newport, Barry and the Bristol Channel fisheries.
