The lost pubs of Cardiff and what replaced them

It's been more than 10 years since The Vulcan, a Cardiff institution, closed its doors for the final time. The iconic pub was one of the city's most loved and historic venues, but shut in 2012 having been threatened with demolition for many years.

Later that year it was taken down brick-by-brick at its spot on Adam Street and moved to St Fagans Museum of National History, where it is being carefully rebuilt. Building work is set to be completed later this year, with visitors to the museum able to go for a drink in the reconstructed pub.

However, while there are many in the city who are glad to see the iconic venue preserved in such a way, there are others who are still angered by the pub's demolition and what has happened to the land it occupied since it was knocked down.
