i always thought that place was the Rover factory ? hence rover way ? I know the large buildings Nr rumney were where they sorted the cargo off the ships during the war as my grandmother was stationed there. I think only one is still standing.

Could have been a good documentary but the unnecessary background music made it difficult to hear the interesting commentary. I regularly went there in its all capacities (pub, disco, carvery,..) since the early 1970s.

I live in the central USA, where the oldest birth dates I see are the 1820s. I enjoy seeing these stories of those who were born even sooner!

Does anyone know what the concrete fort building is/was next to the Traveller encampmnet on Rover Way ? Anything to do with the airfield?

My Mum was born in Mercia road, which backed onto the aerodrome 2 months before the outbreak of ww2. My gran told me a story of how a couple came around and offered to take pictures of the children, my gran was suspicious as they seemed to be trying to take the pictures with the aerodrome in the background. She walked to her parents grocery store in Broadway and used their phone to alert authorities. They came and took this couple away.

Hi Steve, my nan (dad’s mum) lived on Mercia road. Her house backed onto what was then the red hockey pitch of willows high. Mums family lived a street over. They both told a story when a German pilot got lost in fog, low on fuel he decided to land at Pengam. He got out surrounded by kids throwing sweets until home guard arrived and took him away. In a twist when my parents got married they bought their first house which is on Broadway. Dads passed some time ago but mum still lives there. What shop belonged to your parents?

My grandfather was there after the war finished. He had flown Hampdens and Liberators during the war but stayed in the RAF Reserve (like the Territorial Army) based at Pengham.

WE stopped watching this after 2 minutes. The voice was smothered by the music. I was hoping the plinkyplonk music at the start would die out, but it didn't, it just got sadder and louder, drowning everything in mournful musical goo. We live not far away. It's shut now.

Thank you so much for your comment. I have to completely agree with you and appreciate you pointing out the sound issues. At the time I was new to the KZbin thing and as a result I didn’t make many more videos with the equipment I had because of its poor quality. One day when I post another video It’ll hopefully be alot easier for ones to hear.

I used to go there for a night out years ago . They used to have bands playing there and bikers used to meet up once a year and camp locally. I am sure it was called The Golden Hynd back then .

The Golden Hynd was in Sully. I think it’s on St Mary’s Well Bay Road.

It would be the greatest stupidity of all to release wolves in the UK. In Germany the spread has been allowed - a serious mistake, a lot of cattle and pets are killed. The number of wolves increases every year, allmost 2000 now. The species is not threatened with extinction.

Wonderful stuff again Phil. Loved your documentary style intro to this one. So so interesting. What a story!! Ha Edward Edwards - I would imagine that the Customs men wouldn’t forget that name in a hurry. It’s amazing what history can tell us if we just take some time and do some research. Brilliant digging into history mate and well told using narrative, photos, film and drone. The drone footage really gives a great perspective of where the Penarth Head Inn was situated and how crucial a location it was to be able to avoid the Customs men. Brilliant stuff again mate
