The Golden Cross, Cardiff
The Golden Cross, Cardiff
The Golden Cross is a Grade II listed public house in the centre of Cardiff. The current building dates from 1903 and is noted for its distinctive ceramic tiling. A pub has existed on the site since 1849. It was renamed The Golden Cross in 1863. Around 1903/4 it was rebuilt in its current form (the tiles in the bar are dated 1903).
During the Second World War the fascist leader Oswald Mosley attempted to hold a meeting at the pub but violent opposition forced him to return to London.
The pub was threatened with demolition in 1979 but reprieved after a local newspaper campaign. It has been given listed status in 1975.
