Description - Cardiff: A Centenary Celebration 1905-2005 by John O'Sullivan
Cardiff has celebrated its hundred years as a city and fifty years as the youngest capital in Europe in great style - and rightly so, for Cardiff can be proud of its many achievements over the decades of change from Edwardian times to the beginning of the twenty-first century. The changes are recorded in local newspapers, books and documents which are preserved is the local studies department of Cardiff Central Library, where Bryn Jones, the co-author of this book, was in charge until his retirement in 2005. With the expertise of an archaeologist he has identified the series of events that have made this unique diary possible. Co-author John O'Sullivan has been a journalist in South Wales for nearly fifty years and has reported for the South Wales Echo, Daily Mail ,BBC Wales on many of the stories recalled in this book.
Both he and Bryn pay tribute to generations of journalists, authors, broadcasters, publishers and librarians whose work and dedication has contributed to this fascinating history of the capital city of Wales. Their hope is that the outstanding deeds of the last hundred years will act as an inspiration for young people in Cardiff during the next century.
