Shamelessly pinched from Mary Graham, Aboriginal activist and elder. This a great starting point

The New York Cosmos are one of the most distinctive brands in world football

Odd then to think that an early suggestion for their name was the New York Lovers, who'd wear pink with hearts running along the trim 💗

Glastonbury Arms, Bute Street, #Cardff city centre

Once ran by the parents of one of @teamgbofficial.bsky.social's greatest Olympians, Paulo Radmilovic, it was adjacent to the Glamorgan Canal

The Eagle Hotel on the junction of Adam Street & Windsor Rd

Built on the site of an old horse pound c.1850s it prided itself on offering 'good stabling'

By the 1960s was derelict & made way for the new Central Fire Station that was vacating Westgate St, in turn replaced with student flats in 2012

St Mary the Virgin Church, Caerau

Built in the C13th on the site of Caerau Hillfort, it's first mentioned by Pope Nicholas IV in 1291

It's cemetery is predominantly home to a number of graves from the 1890s-1930s

Congregations declined and it was deconsecrated in 1971 #thenandnow
