CARDIFF'S BURNING (Anyone waiting for chips?)

Amazing scenes in Cardiff today as one of it's best known pubs, O'Neill's (the smaller one of the two venues in the city centre) was burned down follwoing what is believed to have been a chip fat fire.

Formerly known as The New Market Tavern, the quaint venue is St John's Square has always been popular for those looking for a quiet drink and it's a place I frequent about once a month.

The links below take you to the story and show some of the pictures that greeted the lucnhtime crowd and which also saw several nearby shops close including Central Market and Howells departement store.
