The Cardiff Arms was situated at 32 Harwell Street. This pub was known as The Town House at time of closure in 2012. It has now been converted into student flats.
James ‘Jimmy’ Peters was the first black player to play Rugby Union for England in 1906 and may have in later life been the landlord of this pub. He was teetotal and died in Plymouth in 1954 being buried at Ford Park Cemetery, Plymouth. I was a police officer in Plymouth 1962 - 1997 so probably had a pint off two in this pub in Harwell Street.
