St Saviours hall, I used to go dancing there, there is flats there now. It is on Splott Road, opposite St Saviours Church. There was a lovely floor there for dancing. We used to go once a week on a Saturday afternoon. Then there was the Splott cinema, the 2penny film. There was 'The Clutching hand', my brothers sat either side of me and put a coat over my head- I was so scared I didn't see the film. We would do that on a Saturday afternoon. It was 1p to go in and half a pence for a bag of sweets.
SH: there was all those places like the Maypole green Grocers. They always had a bike boy to deliver everything- her brother used to take her in the basket like a lump of bread. There was also Lipton's on Clifton Street.
MH: I used to go home for my lunch from school and my mother would send me back out to the shop I would run back with the shopping, eat my lunch standing up and then run back to school.
SH: There also used to be a big Woolworth's on Clifton Street, bigger that the one that is there now, 3 banks, the Midland was on the corner of Ruby Street, the penny bizarre, The Tredegar. The Iron Mongers is still there, they are good in there.
