What was the capital of Wales before Cardiff? |
Travel Info I once read that Cardiff was made capital of Wales in 1965 if so, what was the capital before? and I know some comedian out there is going to say 'W' ha ha Travel Tips There was no specific capital of Wales before 1955 when Cardiff was declared the capital by HM Queen Elizabeth II at the opening ceromony of the then Empire Games. It was a tough fight between Wales' two large cities - Swansea and Cardiff, the coin eventually dropping on Cardiff simply because it already had some administrative offices there. London was the de facto capital as it is today of the whole of the United Kingdom. By the way as London is the capital of the United Kingdom, England technically has no capital city. Others ENGLAND I don't know but they will spell it badly. "Cardiff was only made the capital of Wales in the mid-1950s, prior to this the English government refused to recognise Wales' need for a capital, maintaining that it was just a part of England". Just found the above info on the net - link below http://www.red4.co.uk/about%20wales/25fa... NEATH EDIT: haha LIVERPOOL! That's good! LIVERPOOL |
