Voices of Cardiff
Brian Lee (History Press Ltd)
Over the years, Cardiff historian Brian Lee has done a stellar job in documenting the city’s history. Now amended for 2018, Voices of Cardiff is stuffed full of genuinely interesting stories of the people who graced its streets in days gone by, told by the people who were there and further enhanced with fascinating photography. One Cardiffian fondly recalls playing in canals that were plagued with water rats and dead animals in days of yore, while another remembers days spent at the speedway track at Penarth Road Stadium. Just two of the many memories, lovingly collected by Lee in this absolute treasure of a book. And remember: before Ninjah and Toy Mic Trev, there was Hairy Mick and Cough Candy. CHRIS ANDREWS
