Mayo wrote:Sorry to wade into the Pontcanna/Canton debate but you may be able to help me with an ongoing argument! I live on Severn Grove and have always told people I live in Canton. My neighbour hates this and insists this is Pontcanna. The new Co-op has given her added ammunition by calling itself ‘Co-op Pontcanna’ This is actually on Kings Road but if I stick my head out of an upstairs window I can see it!! Who is right and where does Pontcanna begin and Canton end?
By the way – and getting back on topic –Bully’s is great but not what I would consider good value for money at all!!!
Karl gave the best definition - Canton if you're buying and Pontcanna if you're selling. I'd consider Severn Grove Canton (if you turn your head the other way you should be able to see Boots), albeit one of the better parts. I appreciate others see it differently and maybe with those new people moving in to the area they want to rebrand it in the same way some people like to call Butetown, Splow and Tremorfa Cardiff Bay.
