  • October 2003
    Price £2.50 Number 1 October 2003 A warm welcome to the Forum’s first Newsletter and a big thank you to all of the contributers who have produced articles for this issue. Thanks also to Lin Norton for producing the cover heading. As Editor, producing this Newsletter has been very much a steep learning curve, particularly getting to grips with ‘new technology’ so if there are any glitches in what you actually receive please bear with me. We had intended producing this Newsletter in two formats, electronic and hard copy, in order to keep the costs down and speed up distribution. However, due to the size of the finished copy it is probably too large to send to most of you as an e-mail attachment so, for the time being, we are producing it in hard copy format. Hopefully, in due course, we will be able overcome this problem so that those of you able to receive electronic communications can receive it in glorious technicolor. This first issue covers a wide range of topics from planning issues to individual building stones as well as Forum business, short notes and the first field meeting report. Jonathan Adams’ article on Cardiff’s Millennium Centre is a fore-taster for the field trip on 29th November the details of which, along with those of all of the Forum’s other meetings until the end of 2004 are to be found elsewhere in the Newsletter. Below is a report and reminder from Tim Palmer for all those of you who have yet to pay your first subscriptions.

In 1896 the area between the existing cemetery and the filter beds was examined which was almost immediately obtained and opened as the new cemetery with the section north of the main drive used temporarily as allotments. The farms taken over were Wedal and Lower Wedal and a property known as The Mount. The layout of the new section moved away from the ornate design to more geometric lines. 1 SCOUT.

  • A History of 119 Infantry Brigade in the Great War with Special Reference To
    The History of 119 Infantry Brigade in the Great War with Special Reference to the Command of Brigadier-General Frank Percy Crozier by Michael Anthony Taylor A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract 119 Brigade, 40th Division, had an unusual origin as a ‘left-over’ brigade of the Welsh Army Corps and was the only completely bantam formation outside 35th Division. This study investigates the formation’s national identity and demonstrates that it was indeed strongly ‘Welsh’ in more than name until 1918. New data on the social background of men and officers is added to that generated by earlier studies. The examination of the brigade’s actions on the Western Front challenges the widely held belief that there was an inherent problem with this and other bantam formations. The original make-up of the brigade is compared with its later forms when new and less efficient units were introduced.

  • Brief Histories of Churches Cardiff
    Brief Histories of Churches in the Roath, Splott, Adamsdown, Cathays, Tremorfa, Tredegarville & Penylan areas of Cardiff Roath Local History Society in Cardiff has as its area of interest the old Parish of Roath in the 1880s. This covered not just the area we know as Roath today but also Splott, Adamsdown, Pengam, Pen-y-lan, and part of Cathays. This brief histories of churches looks at the churches that would have been in the area of old parish of Roath but also strays into neighbouring area such as Tredegarville and Cathays as a whole. There may be more churches to be included such as some mission halls that doubled up both as Sunday Schools as well as a church. A couple of synagogues are also included. Building of other faiths will be added over time, though some are already listed as former church buildings now house other faiths. Some errors and omissions in the details are likely. When the author is made aware of any errors, or additional information comes to light, the details on the website version will be updated where possible. The website also contains an interactive map that pinpoints the individual churches. Research for this compilation has relied heavily on a number of publications by members of Roath Local History Society in particular: ‘Cardiff Churches Through Time’ by Jean Rose. ‘Roath, Splott and Adamsdown, One Thousand Years of History’ by Jeff Childs. ‘Roath, Splott and Adamsdown – the Archive Photographs Series’ by Jeff Childs The author would also like to thank members of the various churches listed for their assistance and individuals of other organisations.

  • The Genesis of Highfield Road Jewish Cemetery, Roath Park, Cardiff
    The Genesis of Highfield Road Jewish Cemetery, Roath Park, Cardiff. The following items help to establish the origins of this cemetery. Thanks to Cardiff United Synagogue Chevrah Kaddishah, Mike Hawkins (JHASW volunteer researcher and John Farnhill (JHASW volunteer and trustee of The Friends of Cathays Cemetery) for their help and permission to use this data. 1. The 1841 plaque on the cemetery wall: Page 1 The date 1841 is confirmed by the Hebrew date AM 5602. The plaque mentions Mark Marks as President, Solomon Marks as Treasurer and Samuel Marks as Secretary. Who erected this and when? Is this the original site? Was it erected to mark the date, thank Lord Bute and/or as a tribute to the Marks family? 2. A report dated 19 August 1843 in The Glamorgan Monmouth and Brecon Gazette and Merthyr Guardian: No location is given. Surely at this time Swansea would have been nearer than Bristol? https://newspapers.library.wales/browse/3631009 . 3. William Rees (Professor Emeritus in the University of Wales) in his 'Cardiff: A History of a City' (published -second edition - 1969 by the Corporation of Cardiff) states (page 314): "Negotiations were proceeding in 1846 with Lord Bute for a Jewish Burial Ground, allocated as a strip of land alongside the Cardiff-Merthyr Road, near the Black Weir." Rees was writing a popular history. He uses footnotes to expand the text but does not give any sources. He acknowledges in his Preface "the work of the City Archivist of more than 50 years ago". What had he seen to prompt these comments? Page 2 Highfield Road would have been very remote in the 1840s.

  • Case Study Wales Millennium Centre
    Case study Wales Millennium Centre Project: Wales Millennium Centre Client: Sir Robert McAlpine Product: Kassel Kerb Size: N/A On the buses with Kassel Kerb Over recent years, Cardiff city centre has undergone a renaissance with significant inward investment driving redevelopment of the area. This is supported by a significant public transport network designed to allow easy access to the city centre and reduce the levels of congestion and pollution within the area. One of the flagships of this re-development has been the Wales Millennium Centre. This was designed by architects, Percy Thomas Partnership (now Capita Percy Thomas) with Arup being awarded the contract for structural and services engineering. The Centre was designed and built as a ‘stage for a nation’ to provide 300 293 cultural enjoyment for all and showcase creative talent at its best. But it was also designed and built to reflect the ‘spirit of a nation’. Just as Wales’ landscape has inspired creativity and excellence, so 160 180 too has its culture. 150 150 Given the importance of the Centre as a cultural hub for the life of 314 334 both Cardiff and the Welsh nation, it was essential that access for all 1000 users was designed in.
