Exploring the themes and landscapes of postindustrial Cardiff, this third installment of the Cardiff trilogy contains both observations and research on this changing city.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Utterly compelling ambles around the Welsh capital, full of oddball nuggets and with a terrific senses of context and place."  —The Rough Guide to Wales on Real Cardiff and Real Cardiff Two

"Fascinating, clear eyed quirky insights to the capital, written in wry, staccato prose."  —Peter's a poet, and it shows."  —Cardiff Life

"In horse racing parlance, it's odds on that this book will be just as popular as the first two which went into reprints."  —Echo Extra
