Portmanmoor Road Memories .

A Memory of Splott.

My nan used to own the florists at 28 Portmanmoor Rd - Mrs. Cox . Next door Mrs.White had a shoe shop . Her son was Tony White . Further on down Portmanmoor Rd was Canns - a hardware shop . Opposite was Edna Stones fruit and veg. shop . Further on down that block was a bread shop and chemist . The Lord Wimbourne pub was next to the Post Office on the corner of Wimborne St. Opposite that was Winnie Gregors Chip shop - no croc there !!! . The World famous Bomb and Dagger was opposite the chip shop . This is where Shirley Bassey did some of her earliest singing . Happy days even though they were pulling the place down . Remember the wall they built at the back of Bridgend St. by The Arches underneath the railway line ? . We lived in 27 Aberdovey St. before moving to Splott Rd. . Mark Roan .
