George Nicholas grew up on Taff Embankment. He used to play in the Taff and bunk off school to go down the docks

When the circus used to come we used to be over there first and would help them put the tents up and help with the seating you know in return you would get a free ticket. In fact when the fair was on I used to live over there. I fact a couple of times the man had to come and chase me away.
