Gold Postbox, Cardiff Castle
Royal Mail celebrated every gold medal won by a British athlete during the London 2012 Olympic Games by repainting one of their iconic red pillar boxes gold for each gold medal winning Olympian. This one honours Geraint Thomas who won a gold medal in the men's cycling team pursuit event. It is on Castle Street, opposite Cardiff Castle. In total, Team GB won 29 Gold Medals for the Olympic Games and 34 Gold Medals for the Paralympic Games; for team medals, a post box was painted gold for all team members (see http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/Olympic-Gold-Post-Boxes for list and more examples). This was the first occasion in modern times that Royal Mail had changed the colour of their post boxes from the traditional red which has been the standard colour for UK boxes from 1874, with very few exceptions. The original plan was for the boxes to be returned to their traditional red colour but in November, it was announced that they would remain gold and that a plaque would be fixed to each one (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20183986 BBC News). https://web.archive.org/web/20171231162534/https://www.goldpostboxes.com/ - archived 31st December 2017 (Royal Mail Gold Postbox Finder)

The Goat Major, High St, Cardiff
Apparently originally called the Goat, it became the Blue Bell in 1813, then the Goat Major in 1995. Two contrasting news items from old newspapers, involving the Blue Bell, give pictures of life in the mid C19th. The Principality 3 May 1850: (Magistrates court) The Riot in High Street. A great disturbance was occasioned in High-street, between five and seven o’clock last evening. It being the 1st of May, a great many country people had arrived in the town, in course of changing masters – a custom that day amongst the Welsh. They met in the Blue Bell public-house in that street, and one of the young men was rioting and creating a mob of persons around him. … Mr Roberts, the landlord of the Blue Bell, was reprimanded for having so large a number of persons in his house, some of whom were intoxicated, and yet being served with beer. Western Mail 5 May 1870: The Blue Bell Convivial Club. On Wednesday evening the first anniversary supper took place at the Blue Bell, High St ... The above club meets at the Blue Bell every Saturday evening for harmony and social enjoyment. It contains about 60 members, and great credit is due to the promoters for the very orderly manner in which the meetings are conducted.
