Learn and talk about Cathays, Cathays, Communities in Cardiff, Districts of Cardiff, Populated places established in 1875 Etymology[ edit ] The name Cathays may be a corruption of two words - Cad Hayes - Cat possibly being a corruption of Cad, the Welsh for Battle, and Hayes meaning 'open area'. Alternatively, it could mean 'Enclosure where wildcats are seen' because of the old English definitions of catt, meaning 'wildcat', and haga, meaning 'enclosure'. History[ edit ] Originally farmland outside the old Cardiff Castle, the northern limit of mediaeval Cardiff was marked by the cross where Fairoak Road and Crwys Road now meet.

After John Stuart, 1st Marquess of Bute married The Hon. Charlotte Hickman-Windsor (daughter of Herbert Windsor, 2nd Viscount Windsor ) on 12 November 1766, he inherited lands in Cathays that lay to the north of his existing Bute Estate. He then purchased other properties and farms to extend his land further north and east, including Cathays Park . There he built Cathays House at a cost of £40,000 and at further cost landscaped Cathays Park. But after John Crichton-Stuart, 2nd Marquess of Bute took over the title, he preferred to use Cardiff Castle as his residence, so chose to demolish the house in 1815, and turned Cathays Park into enclosed parkland . Suburb of Cardiff[ edit ] Llanbleddian Gardens, Cathays Following the 2nd Marquis development of Cardiff Docks , and the resultant number of new workers flocking to Cardiff, in 1875 the then rural Cathays became a suburb of Cardiff.

At that time, a few streets led off Woodville Road and Cathays Terrace, but by 1900, the urbanisation of Cathays was virtually completed. Only Allensbank and Wedal farms survived, but, by 1914, even they became no more than local place names. [2] Maindy Barracks was opened in 1871, and with United States Army troops temporarily stationed in transit in Cardiff during both World War I and World War II , the footpath between Gelligaer Street and New Zealand Road resultantly became known as "BURMA Road" (Be Undressed and Ready My Angel), as they came to meet prostitutes . [2] Buildings and structures in Cathays[ edit ] From 1840, the Taff Vale Railway company developed a railway line through Cathays, where they also developed the Cathays railway works . A major carriage and wagon construction and maintenance facility, it and the associated locomotive depot were taken over and maintained by the Great Western Railway . Post nationalisation in 1946, British Railways sold the business and leased the site to the Pullman Company Ltd , where they maintained their carriages until the 1970s.

The depot was closed from the late 1960s, redeveloped for buildings now used by the University of Cardiff . The carriage and wagon works was redeveloped in the early 2000s, and now houses a Lidl store and a student accommodation block. Cathays railway station opened in 1983, adjacent to the Student's Union building which encloses the railway tracks. In 1875 Nazareth House was opened, to provide accommodation for orphans and the elderly. A popular local charity, one of its many benefactors was the boxer Jim Driscoll , who after burial in Cathays cemetery in 1925 has had his grave tended to this day by the nuns of Nazareth House.[ citation needed ] In 1898, John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute sold a large piece of land to Cardiff Council for the building of a new City Hall , imposing strict conditions regarding what purpose and where development could take place. As a result, the city hall was built as far south in the purchased block of land as was possible, and the residual area to its north used for civic, cultural and educational purposes only.

The City Hall , which cost £129,000, was completed in 1905 when Cardiff was awarded city status. The land purchased by the council to the north of the city hall has since become one of the finest civic centres in the world, and now houses: Welsh National War Memorial , unveiled in 1928 Crown Buildings , the Welsh Government 's main offices in Cardiff. The largest building in Cathays Park Maindy Pool was a clay pit that had gradually filled with water. After the death by drowning of ten children and adults it was filled in by using it as a rubbish tip. In 1948 the building of Maindy Stadium began on the same site, completed in 1951, which held cycling races in the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games . When the stadium was closed and replaced with a leisure centre , part of the site became a swimming pool . Cathays Library is a Carnegie library built in 1906 and refurbished in 2009-10. Companies House holds the registration records of all companies registered in England or Wales.

Today[ edit ] Tewkesbury Street in Cathays The area of Cathays, given its proximity to most of Cardiff University 's teaching sites and University Hospital of Wales , has seen a dramatic fall in owner-occupation, with a high proportion of houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) which are let through private landlords and letting agencies to the large student population. 2012 figures available under the Freedom of Information Act show that over 70% of the houses in Cathays are now HMOs.[ citation needed ] The buy-to-let market has deterred young couples, families and first time buyers from setting up home in the area.[ citation needed ] Arsenal and Wales footballer John Parsons and Wales International Rugby player Richie Rees both lived in Robert Street.[ citation needed ] Cathays High School is an 11-18 mixed comprehensive school that started as a boys Grammar school in 1903 and became a comprehensive high school in 1973. [3] Despite the urbanisation of Cathays there is extensive parkland around the civic centre, including Gorsedd Gardens, Queen Alexandra Gardens, Bute Park and Blackweir.

Transport[ edit ] Map of the area around Cathays The area is served by Cathays railway station in the east of the area with frequent services south to Cardiff Queen Street and Cardiff Central or north to Aberdare , Merthyr Tydfil or Treherbert via Pontypridd . Cardiff Bus provides many services in the area.

Many of these homes are occupied by students for their close proximity to the city centre and the Cardiff university campus. The north Cardiff area (Cyncoed, Roath Park, Lisvane, Llanishen, Thornhill, Heath, Whitchurch) is the most favoured part for families. It consists of three to four bedroom semi or detached homes and is popular due to the ease of access to parks, schools and bus routes.

West Cardiff, which is made up of Radyr, Llandaff, St Fagans, Creigiau and Pentyrch, is on the fringe of the countryside but is still an easy commute to the centre of the city and this provides a strong draw for families. The east side of Cardiff (Old St Mellons, Castleton, Marshfield) is also on the fringes of the countryside, occupied by families, having good highway links (M4/A48 and A470), schools and local amenities. Cardiff house prices The Cardiff housing market continues to show signs of increasing activity. John Wood, Director of Cardiff estate agents Thomas H Wood , has seen the capital go from strength to strength. “Cardiff’s reputation as one of the top cities in the UK is attracting a younger generation to the Welsh capital. We are helping more and more people in their 20s and 30s for both sales and rentals, with areas such as Whitchurch and Radyr proving particularly popular for buyers of all ages.” Mr Filice (Kelvin Francis) said: “As the city is such a draw for families and students, there is strong demand for the traditional three bedroom semi-detached homes.

The average price for such houses in Cardiff has grown by 20 per cent in the last 12 months. High demand and a shortage of supply has seen the average price rise close to £320,000 for these homes.” What are the average sale prices in Cardiff? One bedroom flat in Cardiff - £120,000 Two bedroom flat in Cardiff - £150,000 Two bedroom house in Cardiff - £180,000 Three bedroom house in Cardiff - £320,000 Belinda Bishop, Branch Partner at Chewton Rose , said: “The premium homes market in Cardiff is very fluid at the moment, with properties in the bracket of £400,000 to £850,000 selling very well. We’re seeing an uplift in demand from families seeking open-plan living and private space for the ‘ultra-modern’ home, yet there is also still a large interest in Victorian style properties.” Rob Price, Owner, Belvoir, Cardiff , said that he expected an increase in activity among the Cardiff sales market in 2016, because there had been an uplift in demand for homes in the Welsh capital.

He said: “Consumers are gradually becoming more confident again, driving the growth in demand for property in the centre of Cardiff. This last year, we’ve seen an uplift in sales of two and three bedroom houses ranging from £220,000 to £280,000.” Cardiff Bay Harbour What are the average rental prices in Cardiff? One bedroom flat in Cardiff - £600 pcm Two bedroom flat in Cardiff - £675 pcm Two bedroom house in Cardiff - £750 pcm Three bedroom house in Cardiff - £950 pcm Belinda (Chewton Rose) added: “There is always a high demand for rental property in Cardiff due to the large number of students keen to live close to Cardiff University.

We also often gain a lot of interest from people looking to rent for six months in the area, because they’re often looking to relocate and either want to try living in the area first, or are looking to buy but may need some more time to find a home.” Mr Price (Belvoir, Cardiff) said that he believed demand for lettings would increase slightly in 2016 and that one bedroom flats were the most popular for students and professionals who wanted to rent in the city of Cardiff. Mr Wood (Thomas H Wood, Cardiff) commented: “The lettings market has been strong for some time in Cardiff and the reputation of local universities continues to attract both leading academics and students from across the country. In turn, we have also seen an increase in buy-to-let activity with investors seeing the opportunities available in what’s becoming a vibrant and well-respected city.” What are some of the best roads in Cardiff? Mr Filice (Kelvin Francis) said: “Cardiff is experiencing a renaissance, led by the St David’s Shopping Centre development, combined with the rejuvenation of the old Docks area, which includes the Cory shipping area, a majestic waterfront now with chic restaurants, theatres and marine and yachting activities.

“All of this has encouraged developers to build apartments and buy-to-let landlords who are keen to capitalise on a healthy rental market.” He listed the following road names as those among the best to live in the area. Llandennis Avenue, Cyncoed Essential information What are the best and most popular schools in Cardiff? Mr Filice (Kelvin Francis) said: “There are excellent schooling facilities throughout Cardiff. The more popular Cardiff schools, which are a strong draw to the area, include Cardiff High School in Cyncoed, Radyr Comprehensive in South Glamorgan and Corpus Christi (Roman Catholic) High School in Lisvane.” Highly regarded independent schools include Howell’s School in Llandaff and St John’s College in Old St Mellons. A new Welsh school, Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bro Edern, has been built in Penylan. There is also Cardiff University and Cardiff Metropolitan University. The former was ranked internationally at 122 by the prestigious QS World University Rankings in 2015/2016. Cardiff University What types of local transport are available in Cardiff?

As the biggest city in the region, Cardiff has a huge range of transport options including bus, road, rail, air and water. Compared to the other cities in Wales, it has a relatively low proportion of car users, but the Cardiff city council is still trying to encourage more alternative commuting, including cycle schemes and investment in a tram system. Cardiff Central station provides rail links throughout Wales, including long-distance services across the country to Wrexham and Holyhead in the north, and English cities such as Bristol and Birmingham. The suburbs are also connected to the city by the Cardiff Queen Street railway station and the Valley Lines buses. International and domestic flights are easily accessible from Cardiff Airport, which is the largest of its kind in the country. It is actually situated a short drive from the city in the village of Rhoose but the 10 mile trip has connections by bus, train and road links. Cardiff is linked to Bristol just over the Severn Bridge by the M4 and the motorway stretches along the length of South Wales connecting all of its major towns and cities. As well as an extensive bus network in the city, Cardiff also has the Aquabus, which runs between the city centre and the Cardiff Bay area, which has undergone extensive redevelopment.

Cardiff guide: Lifestyle Cardiff has been named by Barclays as one of the top 10 most affluent cities in Britain. The ranking, in which Cardiff came seventh, was based on a range of factors, including numbers of millionaires, average annual pay, the proportion of households giving to charity, business survival rates and academic performance. Cardiff has a diverse population. Its history of strong trade connections, post-war immigration and foreign students attending the city’s universities have given rise to a vibrant social mix. It has a predominantly youthful population – with nearly a quarter of the population aged between 20 and 34 – and its large media production industry has proved a strong draw to young professionals. Many of these younger residents live in or around Cardiff Bay, the largest waterfront development in Europe. Where are the best places to go shopping in Cardiff? Cardiff has earned its reputation as one of the top 10 shopping destinations in Britain. Popular brands, including John Lewis, M&S, Debenhams and many more, can be found in the heart of the city at the St David’s Shopping Centre. Cardiff city centre has a number of glass covered shopping arcades built in the coal bonanza years under the reign of Queen Victoria.

These arcades host curiosity and high end chic shops, and they are a joy to walk around, especially at Christmas time. Belinda (Chewton Rose) highlighted these for those who prefer market style shops. She said there were six Victorian arcades in Cardiff which offered a more intimate environment for shoppers and could be a great alternative to the high street Cardiff shopping experience if you’re after vintage clothes stores, craft shops and great coffee shops. Where are the best restaurants in Cardiff? According to Mr Price (Belvoir, Cardiff) the city has everything from fine dining and gourmet street food to choose from. He said: “Pop-up eateries in the city are increasingly popular because there are always so many different cuisines on offer. Got Beef is a personal favourite of mine – if you like burgers bursting with flavour then this is the place to try!

Originally a pop-up event, the owner now also has a permanent bar and kitchen in Whitchurch Road, just outside the city centre, so if you can’t catch the next pop-up, this is definitely worth a visit.” Mr Filice (Kelvin Francis) said: “There are also a selection of quality rustic and contemporary style restaurants in areas such as The Hayes and St David’s Shopping Centre eateries.” Are there any sporting or cultural events in Cardiff? The Welsh capital continues to be a big draw for major sporting and cultural events. The Millennium Stadium is a world class venue for rugby and football and has hosted some of the world’s biggest bands (it is be renamed the Principality Stadium in January 2016). “The quality of life that Cardiff offers has made it a very desirable and a safe place to live for the young, families and for the retired. And, not surprisingly, the city’s population is predicted to grow by almost a fifth in the next five years,” explained Mr Filice (Kelvin Francis). The Norman Keep, Cardiff Castle What are the top things to do in Cardiff?
