The Splott University Settlement (SUS) was founded in 1901 Portmanmoor Road, to promote education and recreation for the people of the district, moving in 1906 to the building on Walker/Courtenay Road. It is not connected to the University of Cardiff. Note: That section of Walker Road between Splott Road and Moorland Road, was renamed in 1915/16 to Courtenay Road after the second Lord Tredegar Courtenay Morgan. Shortly after the First World War, the Splott University Settlement building became St Illtyd's College (1923-1964), a Grammar School for Catholic Boys in Wales. After the Second World War the school moved to new premises at Quarry Hill, Rumney.
