Great videos keep them coming I love that you stop and read the stones brings them back to life !

My family is buried here in the Cathays Cemetery. The Millingtons, Carlsens, Days and Napiers. My friend and I would take a bucket and scrubbing brush to clean all the babies’ stones in this cemetery during WWII. as best we could.

5.00. the girl in the balloon story was just sad. But back in those days people did things at Young ages . Everything was so new and unregulated

Such a shame to push the stones over. H and S gone mad. I’ve visited many cemeteries, on here and in person, but not seen so many like this.

[@mushymagazineonlocation7328]

Maybe the stones with just the surnames and the year of death were people buried by the local authorities

[@JohnDoe-px4ko]

Quaker graves usually just have the surname and date.

Many in the US have also been destroyed by vandalism. So sad….😥

Of course this is only half of the original cemetery. It was split when the Cardiif inner by pass(Eastern Avenue) was built. Circa1970. A mate of mine had a job helping to exhume the bodies that were moved to make way for the road. A local joke was "Where is the dead centre of Cardiff ?" I'll leave the answer for you to work out.

I’m looking at the war graves, thinking what a waste of life’s.

The plural of life is lives. An apostrophe is used as a possessive.

[@tylerjones2695]

Very nice place but that pushing the stones over could be handled a lot better I think

[@mikerobinson3899]

Just imagine me visiting a cemetery then I see graves been push over I would be very annoyed with the people who do it

[@GrandslamTim1]

shame you failed to show Cardiff's famous boxing son 'Peerless' Jim Driscoll

[@tylerjones2695]

I'm from America and didn't know about him... there is a lot about him online and now I do know about him...he's been dead for almost 100 yrs so he must have been good since there is a lot of info

[@mikerobinson3899]

Such a shame to push the graves over I think it is a stupid thing to do it get the police on to it
