Rachel Thomson of Penylan has also penned a letter in today's Echo (6th Sept) in support of the Vulcan with a good reference to Newtown. No doubt a few pedants will say that the Vulcan is not in Newtown but the issue is really about the wider community that existed on both sides of the tracks.

Hello Marc well done for speaking up for what you believe in.
I went to St David's school with a girl called Margaret Marcall whose parent's kept the the Vulcan, that was back in the 40s.

HERE IS THE LETTER MARC BROSNAN HAD PUBLISHED IN THE ECHO LAST WEEK. (well done Marc)
It is with sad disappointment that I read Dan O'Neill's feature (Echo, 1/9/10) Last orders for the traditional pub. At the beginning he refers to the Vulcan in Adam Street as a 'relic' and suggests it is not worthy of saving. Dan does this by comparing the Vulcan to the list of public houses that have had to close due to economic reasons. Those of us who are trying to save the Vulcan are doing so because it is threatened with demolition not simply closure. This little pub is all that is left of what was once a thriving community, a community destroyed in the 1960's at the behest of the then 'City Fathers'. I grew up in that community and all I have left when I return is the Vulcan as a reminder of where I once lived. I would expect Dan to fully support this hostelry and recognise its links to the City's past. This is the area where Cardiff grew out from to become the major coal exporting capitol of the world. I don't believe any of the pubs recently listed in the Echo's features have anything like the historic ties that the Vulcan has. To pull it down would be the last nail in the coffin of a lost community and an insult to those us who were born and brought up there. If Dan O'Neill cannot see this then I don't think he should retain the moniker 'Kairdiff Kid'. Any real Kairdiffian, particularly those with Irish roots would stand full square behind saving this link with Cardiff's illustrious past.
