Rhiwbina Garden Village

[1] The garden village was subsequently developed by the society on farmland bought from the Jenner family of Wenvoe Castle.

[2] Properties were initially rented from the Rhiwbina Garden Village Society, which was run as a co-operative by the residents.

Lon Isa was next, and Y Groes, the oblong green forming the centre of a cul-de-sac, was created by their intersection.

7 Y Groes is dated 1913 and inscribed with the initials of the Cardiff Worker's Cooperative Garden Village Society.

[5][3] Blue plaques erected by the Rhiwbina Civic Society in Rhiwbina Garden Village commemorate the residences of the founder of the St Fagans National Museum of History, Iorwerth Peate, in Lon-y-Dail, writer and Welsh nationalist Kate Roberts in Lon Isa, archaeologist Cyril Fox in Heol Wen, and social reformer Edgar Leyshon Chappell in Y Groes.
