Grangetown is a district in Cardiff which is one of the largest in the south of the city. \u00a0It is also a multicultural area.<\/h2>\n

I. The Grange pub<\/p>\n

One of Grangetown\u2019s oldest pubs, The Grange, is at least 130 years old and bears a remarkable history.<\/p>\n

Whilst the current building isn\u2019t the original one, it stands on the same spot. Over its long history, it has seen landlords who sold steam engines from its premises, and it was once filled with the rich notes of a steam-propelled pipe organ.<\/p>\n

There were once rumours of a ghost residing within the pub \u2013 later dispelled by staff, who claimed that it was a joke that had been misconstrued.<\/p>\n

Despite this, the Grange once stood as a ghost of its former self: in 2015, it was put up for sale by Brain\u2019s brewers and lay derelict for almost 18 months.<\/p>\n

There were plans to turn it into housing or shops, until it was bought by new owners in 2016 and given a new lease of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
