Your Cardiff history is similar to mine. Born in Glossop Terrace, lived in Llanrumney (moved there from Adamsdown), regularly visited old St Mellons (the Ton Stores), got married and moved to Rumney.

Ton Stores, well that's a blast from the past, Very Young (5-7 ish) used to walk with my Mum (RIP) over there from top end ofLlanrumney through the path/gate past old church hall/jumble sale hall to old St Mellons church (with the small baby's grave) then take a right down the small lane leading to "Ton Stores" - summertime cider Ice Lollies stick in my Brain.
Llanrumney was later known as a rough place but in the late 50's early 60's when it was built the community spirit was Brill. I can honestly say that I had a safe and free childhood in those days of innocence. And look back with total fondness and I thank my mum and dad for that.
To any Youngsters, Life is what you make of it, no matter where you are from - Just be positive and Believe in yourself, you are destined for great things.
Cardiff city in my heart and soul
