Save The Vulcan....

'
God have mercy....save the Vulcan, this is the campaign to save the oldest pub in Cardiff that is now before The Welsh Assembly. Well, perhaps our prayers have been answered....

A sound commercial and startlingly imaginative architectural engineering solution for the Vulcan is being mooted for arbitration by the Assembly.

The suggestion is to incorporate the Vulcan frontage into the new 20 storey building, but one floor up!

This would create huge visual impact! Whilst allowing the Vulcan public and service areas, plus current fittings, to be built into the building and remain the pub we love!

Everybody gains, nobody loses and Cardiff has an extraordinary architectural art piece - sorry no artists impression?

I contacted Rachel Thomas of the campaign via facebook, who confirmed that: The Vulcan must stay where it is and that there is no reason at all why the developers can't incorporate it into their plans!

Mercy indeed, with the miracle of a floating Vulcan over the streets of Cardiff
