- A short excerpt from a news report that shows the devastation following the fire the broke out in the old Broadway English Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, later BBC Wales Studio A & B and final the Central Mosque And Community Centre. I believe the fire happened in September 1989, and it took out a number of buildings. #Cardiff #Broadway #BroadwayBBC #Roath #Fire #1980s #1989 - More info and photos: thenwas.com/th...
I used to pass there when I was little. I still remember the giant carpet rolls sticking out of the church door.
I remember walking past and seeing Kung-Fu Eddie sat on the steps! :)
@thenwas Hi, thanks for the response. I'm glad people like you keep hold of old footage, you wouldn't believe the amount of time (maybe you do) I've tried to find stuff that shout be recorded, only to come up empty handed. For example, there was a fire that decimated a huge garage just off city road between 2000 and 2002 roughly, but no mention of it anywhere I've looked.
Oh and I used to be around the Broadway and Clifton Street area when I was younger, as my Grandparents lived in Cecil Street.
@@dilbertfish Yeah, there's loads of my own old photos and videos I wish I still had, but are now long gone. I lived on Stacey Road till the early 1990s, so know the area and time period well. Remember the carpets also.
