The new buildings popping up are horrendous. Devoid of character and workmanship. Just a blank rendered block. Awful

[@Elektrifekt]

My old uni pub!! Loved that place.

[@MrJohnQCitizen]

I like the British awkwardness despite Simon's best efforts to enjoy himself

[@ronniechambers2555]

Great video, great story. I had the pleasure of visiting the original Vulcan, when I tagged along with a few Irish friends off to watch Wales v Republic of Ireland in a friendly at the old Arms Park in 1997. It was a drab 0-0, played out in a Monsoon, in front of only 7000 fans, the hour or so in the Vulcan was certainly the highlight of the day. I remember finding out a few years ago that it had not only closed but had been demolished, it saddened me at the time. To see it rebuilt is a nice story, though it will never be the same. Surprised Brains haven't jumped on it, that would make it more authentic for me.

What a great video, one of your best! If you ever have the chance, go to Blists Hill Museum in the midlands and see their equivalent. Showing my age, but love pubs with no tv’s, jukeboxes or other electronic distractions! Hard to find now of course….

[@alid8646]

i went there in February this year (Blists Hill) , loved it...Did you go to the pub? and did the singalong with the piano player. Great fun

Simon, I despise the new buildings. Having a view on architecture seems to be closed to only those in the profession. If we say the buildings are ugly we would be told we do not understand. Also agree with you they build with cheap materials and look dreadful after a few years. If you build something to look modern it is going to look out of date at some point, if you build in the classical style it stays classic forever. Sadly a lot of the skills such as stone maisonery have all but dissapeared now.

[@Liam-yr4uf]

Exactly. Things were built to last, and they were built to be beautiful. Houses weren't the biggest, but they were built to be homely, warm, and characterful. They endured and will continue to do so. Nowadays too many corners are cut, and the materials are cheap (not that that stops them from charging top dollar), and the buildings look out of date after a few years (in my opinion they're mostly bloody ugly to begin with anyway).

[@tomwilliams7391]

A lot of the skyscrapers built around the millennium 1998-2005 already look really old, the type of building with cladding etc date extremely quickly...

[@americasfavoritehoarder]

The new buildings have no soul.😢

[@MrJohnQCitizen]

These things take time

[@americasfavoritehoarder]

@MrJohnQCitizen possibly true. But do I wait and hope or just go to the old ones now?

[@tomwilliams7391]

After 20 -25 years the turn of the millennium buildings look terrible already, the cladding and glass often isn't maintained and gets covered with moss...the architeure seems to have dated really badly.

[@matt__williams]

Love St Fagans. I used to take my family there regularly. Can’t wait to visit again and see the the Vulcan

[@justmadeit2]

Simon, have you ever had a pint of Windsor knot? It’s a pale ale and tastes amazing. It’s made by Windsor and eton brewery in Berkshire

[@kryptboy]

Great change of pace, I enjoyed this :)

[@ScottishT]

Love these videos, thankfully only 4 imperial stouts before driving to Cardiff to make a documentary.

[@peteb3091]

Get the Earth's cleaned on the starter motor of your car. I guarantee that's what it will be.

[@michaelcannon7640]

Simon, you're very lucky to live in a place with so much culture. Although some things have been lost to progress, so many things are preserved and maintained. If I lived near a place like this, I'd be in there all the time. Imagine sitting outside in the patio area - or sitting next to that fireplace on a cold raining evening.

[@White_Rose_Al]

What a fantastic place

[@robrn1975]

I love your car Simon. What is it? Diesel ?

[@billywong78]

It's a red one

[@louisbeerreviews8964]

Diesel is going to be banned anyway

[@beewisebeestronger6224]

It is fuck'd

[@OutandAboutWithDavid]

10:30 10:50 The Vulcan use to be there on the corner where you can see the tarmac between the post-box and the corner. 12:15 yes its free, there is a charge for parking a car, donations are welcome. 20:35 The urinals was done James Duckett and son who manufacturer Kilm fired and salt gladded sanitary wares, drains and pipes from the 1850s to the late 1960s to early 1970s. The marble is done by the same company as original pub and the Golden Cross Inn.

[@gerardog.931]

Super! Cheers! Nice video!

[@dentydent6423]

Awesome vlog,thanks. What an amazing step back in time

[@fabianporst5847]

We have a similar outdoor museum around where I grew up in Nuremberg, Germany. Always loved to go there, this video brought back some great memories! Thanks!

[@ButcherBeynon]

This looks great. I remember the Vulcan being in Newtown. Do you know when it closed for business? I've always thought that St Fagans was missing somewhere to have a pint. Cant wait to visit! Will leave it a few months to calm down though. Thanks, Simon.

[@dghdavies]

Awesome video. See you in Salisbury in June?

[@alid8646]

Been years since i been to st Fagans, was an old school trip i think the last time i went. Never realised you could buy things there in the old victorian shops, I went to Telford's Blist hill which has the same concept recently. Cool

[@SimonMartinForPrimeMinister]

What a fascinating video Si. Tremendous work. Love these types of videos. This video itself will be history in years to come.

[@dominiquewilliams8904]

Loved this video ❤, I agree with your opinion on the newer builds, don't want the city to loose its charm. I've always enjoyed exploring St Fagans on a quiet day. Been wanting to visit the Vulcan, so I was delighted to see you'd done a video on it... you don't seem overly impressed with the beer mind 😅

[@Gez-C]

What a great place! I’ll have to visit it when Im next in the area! I like how they try and preserve thr older buildings

[@johnlewis19a]

I thought the Vulcan was opposite the Great Western near the bridge Simon. I went there with my Dad in 1984! 😊

[@LukeRobertson-d6x]

I love how you try and freebie everything 😂

[@leethemiller]

THANKS for the videos keep up the great work greatly appreciated

[@hiroshioki17]

I always enjoy your road trip videos. Thanks and cheers!

[@12345oce]

I dig the rockabilly hairdo

[@gt3911]

Never really thought about it before but these old pubs had so much echo due to all the hard surfaces. On a busy hour it must get rather loud!

[@NickL5980]

Great video and really interesting to see a part of Cardiff I’ve never seen. Cheers mate 👍

[@dbuk5637]

Great video, i love these types of videos. keep up the good work

[@iamtheeggman1986]

A great watch, really enjoyed ❤ 🍺

[@user-73421]
