This
site aims to be an educational tool, aimed at those
who seek information about how important historical events
have shaped the town of Cardiff, and helped it to develop
into the modern city it is today.
The site also provides little known facts, figures, and
reflects upon the lives of people from, or who have an
personal connection with Cardiff - and are affectionately
referred to as 'Cardiffians'.
The highlight of this site is the large selection of images
of old and new Cardiff, that I have collected over the
past 15 years. My desire to share these images is why I created
this site, and it
has evolved as my knowledge of web design increases.
Progress is a necessity, but it's a
loss to historians everywhere that so many buildings and
streets of long ago have been demolished and cleared away,
with hardly any thought about the important historical and
social qualities being lost in the process.
Now everyone can have the opportunity to look upon these
images to see just much Europe's youngest Capital has
changed in such a short space of time, and also how it has
managed to retain a lot of character that other modern
cities often lack. |
