Like Hull, parts of the City centre are reclaimed from the sea, and the surrounding area was formerly marshland. One of the areas where people drowned before the major works was called Dumballs.
One of Cardiff's busiest streets is built on four fields used to bury executed criminals. Gallows Pit, Defiled Pool, Cut Throats, Putrid Field. It's where the bodies of those executed at Death Junction were dumped.
If a Swansea born person moves to Hull they then become a Humber Jack
There is uncertainty concerning the origin of Caerdydd, which does not appear until the 16th century. “Caer” means “fort” or “castle” but “dydd” means “day”. So it could be that “Dydd” and “Diff” are a corruption or mutation of Taff. Before that, the Romans called it Tamium and Bovium. Another theory favours a link with Aulus Didius Gallus, a Roman governor in the region at the time the fort was established. The website visitcardiff.com suggests the name may have originated as Caer Didius – The Fort of Didius. Which is thought to be the origin of Ken Dodds Army.
The last man to hold the office of ale taster was a lucky man called Edward Philpot. The ancient, coveted role was exactly as it sounds: making sure that ales and beers were of good quality. The office disappeared in the mid 19th century.
The Real Captain (Henry) Morgan Was a Cardiffian. He was born in Llanrumney, East Cardiff in 1635.
On May 8, 1648 The Battle of St ***ans was the last big battle of the long-running English Civil War, the fight between parliamentarians and forces loyal to the king. By the time the battle was done, between 300 and 700 people were dead.
Cardiff was the first Fair Trade capital in the world.
The city has on average more hours of sunlight than Milan.
Cardiff is also known as the City of Arcades. It has the biggest concentration of Victorian, Edwardian and modern-day indoor shopping arcades in Britain.
The city has the oldest record store in the world. Spiller’s dates back to 1894 and it used to sell wax records for the newly invented phonograph.
Cardiff became the capital of Wales in 1955. It’s Europe’s smallest and one of its newest capital cities.
The first £1 million deal was closed in Cardiff Coal Exchange in 1907.
In the 20th century, it was the greatest exporter of coal in the world.
The city claims to have the largest concentration of castles of any city in the world.

Great goal by Deano that saw us stay up and Leeds relegated - even the Cardiff fans and the police joined in the celebrations after the match
Remember getting quite tetchy watching final score at home as the TWS game got delayed by their fans playing up.
I'd take a draw, but 3 championship wins in a row under McCann would be beyond anyone's wildest expectations. Which is why I don't think it will happen!
If take a draw now too. Losing Bernard, Jones, Coyle and Emmanuel and having no senior cover left is likely to be too much. Nervous about this one.
Hull City stars surprise ‘Community Champion’ Rob

Hull City midfielders George Honeyman and Matt Smith attended the Tigers Trust’s ‘Tigers Together’ session to surprise Rob Witham with a special award.
After first engaging with the Trust over seven years ago as a participant, Rob now works as an apprentice after a successful application in August.
He is also a massive Hull City fan and was left speechless when presented with his ‘Community Champion’ award.
The weekly ‘Tigers Together’ sessions aim to improve the mental health and wellbeing of those in the local community, and for Rob, they provided a safe place to play football following the sad passing of his child.
Rob’s apprenticeship now sees him work in primary schools across the region through the Premier League Primary Stars which seeks to inspire children to learn, be active and develop important life skills.
His journey and progression with the Trust shows the importance of football activities for those looking to fight their mental health.
Speaking on the importance of these sessions for the community, Honeyman said: “Sessions like this are incredibly important to the community. There’s a great togetherness and everyone here is smiling.
“For the Trust to put on something like this every Monday, it almost gives people a home after a home. This is amazing work that everyone at the Tigers Trust is doing.”

Carry on..... We've only two senior left sided centre halves available. So who is in the back 3?
I hope he stays with 352, Tom H as the other centre half, would be happy with a draw, though another win would be great. Gearing up for an early dinner and an early night, the alarm set for 2.30 AM.
Getting in the mood.

Early dinner, judging by that pick it's a rough restaurant!
