The Gower pub in Cathays closed this week. I drank there a bit in my younger days, but you could see they weren't really putting much love into the place by the end. Such a shame.
Nice (!) set of pics
here of it before it closed.
Quote from the album: "I hope these pictures will be seen as emblematic of a wider shift. Cut-throat supermarket prices, the smoking ban, and companies that feel no responsibility to their customer base have killed off many cornerstones of the community. Are libraries, swimming pools, and day centres next? Will anything that can't turn a profit be closed?"
