The regeneration of Cardiff Bay is now widely regarded as one of the most successful regeneration projects in the United Kingdom.[1] The Bay is supplied by two rivers (Taff and Ely) to form a 500-acre (2.0 km2) freshwater lake round the former dockland area south of the city centre. The Bay was formerly tidal, with access to the sea limited to a couple of hours each side of high water but now provides 24 hour access through three locks[2] . History Cardiff Bay played a major part in Cardiff’s development by being the means of exporting coal from the South Wales Valleys to the rest of the world, helping to power the industrial age. The coal mining industry helped fund the building of Cardiff into the Capital city of Wales and helped the Third Marquis of Bute, who owned the docks, become the richest man in the world at the time. As Cardiff exports grew, so did its population; dockworkers and sailors from across the world settled in neighbourhoods close to the docks, known as Tiger Bay, and communities from up to 45 different nationalities, including Norwegian, Somali, Yemeni, Spanish, Italian, Caribbean and Irish helped create the unique multicultural character of the area.

  • Review of 20,000 Saints
    Review of Twenty thousand saints , a novel by Fflur Dafydd Talybont (Ceredigion), Alcemi, 2008, pp 251 Why should an award-winning young Welsh writer turn to English for her third novel? To reach a wider audience, according to conventional wisdom. But for Fflur Dafydd, who won the prose medal at the 2006 Eisteddfod with her Welsh language novel Atyniad, the answer is not that simple. It is about finding her voice: 'Writing in Welsh is completely different to writing in English; because fewer writers are writing in Welsh, there is so much more to be done, and there is real opportunity to be innovative with the way that you use the language. English is different; less vulnerable as a language and therefore more robust and exacting, so that when writing in English I’m less concerned with language innovation and more concerned with finding my own voice and identity within that language.' The novel, 'Twenty Thousand Saints', (Alcemi, 2008) is set on the tiny island of Bardsey, off the north east coast of Wales. Today Bardsey is known (if at all) as a bird watching paradise, but in the 6th century it was an established centre of pilgrimage on a par with Lindisfarne and Iona; three visits to Bardsey were worth a pilgrimage to Rome. There are Arthurian associations, too, as there are almost everywhere in Wales: Merlin is alleged to be buried here (along with twenty thousand Celtic saints, hence the title of the novel), and one theory at least identifies Bardsey as the Isle of Avalon, the last resting place of Arthur and Guinevere.

  • Restoring the 'Mam'
    Restoring the ‘Mam’: Archives, Access and Research into Women’s Pasts in Wales MANDI O’NEILL The history of Welsh people has often been camouflaged in British history yet women have been rendered inconspicuous within their own Welsh history.1 t has been suggested that ‘Welsh women are culturally invisible’2 in a country which has had a predominantly male workforce in its modern history which resulted in a strong cultural identity around I 3 rugby and male voice choirs which excluded women. Welsh women were strongly identified with the domestic sphere and have been represented as a sort of nostalgic, idealised mother: the ‘mam’, the matriarch of the home, waging a constant battle, often in the face of economic deprivation, to keep her home and family clean and well-fed, often at the expense of her own health. ‘Cleanliness is next to godliness’, Public History Review Vol 18 (2011): 47–64 © UTSePress and the author Public History Review | O’Neill could have been her mantra: her reputation – which was all-important – was one of hard work, thrift and piety. Rarely, if ever, working outside the home, social activities revolved around the chapel. Pubs and politics were for the men.4 Government statistics have tended to reinforce the somewhat homogenous, domestic view of Welsh women. In the mid interwar period, only twenty-one percent of women in Wales were recorded as economically active5 although oral history interviews reveal that women did take on additional work, often in the home, to supplement family income.6 While the idealised ‘mam’ is rooted firmly in the coalmining communities of the South Wales Valleys, there were plenty of women in urban areas such as Cardiff and Swansea and large parts of rural Wales who did not conform to this image.

  • The BARRY STORY
    The BARRY STORY Barry is unique in Britain. Nowhere else offers international industrial history and golden seaside resort in such proximity. Indeed, there are few places in the world that combine coal and candyfloss, ships and chips, bananas and bumper-cars so seamlessly. Our town fits snugly between Wales’s capital city of Cardiff to the east and our international airport a few miles to the west. Add to that a rail service that connects Barry to the capital in under 20 minutes, a glorious, golden coastline, fantastic green spaces, a brand new international enterprise zone, a hinterland of historic villages, market towns and oodles of heritage, and we have one great story to tell and one fantastic place to share with the world. A PLACE OF PILGRIMAGE From the Early Medieval to the Middle Ages, Barry was an important destination for pilgrims. Four pilgrimages to St Baruc’s church on Barry Island were considered equivalent to one to Rome. Later, workers from all four corners of the globe journeyed to Barry to capitalise on the town’s industrial boom years. Hot on their heels came miners, industrial workers and their families from across South Wales to worship the sun on our golden beaches. The tradition of pilgrimage continues today with Gavin and Stacey fans who come in droves to pay homage to the sights and locations of the internationally popular TV show. TREASURE ISLAND, GOLD COAST The port attracted workers from around the globe, creating a rich multicultural community. In the midst of the industrial boom, day trippers began flocking in their thousands to Barry Island’s strip of glistening sand, on the railway built to carry coal.

  • Immigration and Inclusion in South Wales Terry Threadgold, Sadie Clifford, Abdi Arwo, Vanessa Powell, Zahera Harb, Xinyi Jiang and John Jewell
    Immigration and inclusion in South Wales Terry Threadgold, Sadie Clifford, Abdi Arwo, Vanessa Powell, Zahera Harb, Xinyi Jiang and John Jewell This research explores the impact of new migration on established communities in south-east Wales, in particular on the issues of community, integration and cohesion. It documents everyday life for both migrants and receiving communities. It explores the views and experiences of people from a range of ethnically diverse geographical areas, and different kinds of migrants. The study explores: • the responses to new migration of settled receiving communities and geographical areas of south-east Wales, both historically and over the past ten years; • people’s understandings of key policy terms (e.g. community, integration, inclusion, community cohesion) at a number of levels: administrative, community leadership and grassroots; • the way both new migrants and settled communities experience the major ‘indicators of integration’ or inclusion in their everyday lives: English language learning, interpretation and translation, education, housing, employment, healthcare, policing and community safety; • what can support, and what can hinder, community cohesion.
