A centuries old cottage, possibly the oldest in Cardiff

A centuries old cottage, possibly the oldest in Cardiff, will soon be welcoming a new resident-its present owner is selling up and moving to California.
When it was built around 1740 the two-up, two-down "ty bach twt" cottage, in what is now Romilly Road, Cardiff, was the home for the gardner of one of the big houses which used to dominate the area.
Once it stood on its own orchard, surrounded by flowers and green fields, but 50 years ago it was all but swallowed up when a local builder erected the terrace houses that was to become Romilly Road.
