History needed!

I've included a 'History of Llanishen' heading right at the start (to give a bit more balance to the article) and put a couple of cursory things in it - but it's very thin! Anyone fancy a bash? --Matt Lewis 21:16, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Some photos?

Some pictures - perhaps between each the facilites under Leisure - will make the page a lot more readable.

Anyone got pictures of the Sailing Club, Skate park, Reservoir or Rugby ground etc? (not under copyright or including people). --Matt Lewis 21:13, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

A new heading called 'Parkland in Llanishen'?

Llanishen has lots of parkland - maybe it could be a heading? It could be a better place to mention the green belt. --Matt Lewis 21:21, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't know very much about Llanishen as it is today. Green belt is what separates a built up area (town or city) from the next built up area. Llanishen appears to be part of Cardiff; so Cardiff has Green belt around it to, presumably, separate it from Newport and Barry. Llanishen just has parkland and open spaces.Pyrotec 21:37, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

People used to talk of an uniterrupted green belt bisecting Cardiff and how special it was! Not heard about it for a while so I'll try and find out about it. The one I'm thinking of would include Roath Park and the Nant Fawr corridor. --Matt Lewis 22:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I've changed the text in the article to 'green corridor'... it makes more sense and I maybe I've got the two words mixed up. --Matt Lewis 22:26, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Ty Glas

Aerial photographs taken in March 1948 show a complex of single-storey Government offices being built. In March 2002 it was stated that some of them were still being occupied by the Inland Revenue. The words of the paragraph were trying to say that the Revenue Offices came first; possibly followed by S4C, which wikipedia says was launched in 1982, followed by others. Over time it was rearranged to put the S4C HQ first in the list, presumably on the basis of perceived "importance", no one likes paying taxes.Pyrotec 22:37, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

That whole Parc Ty Glas paragraph needs re-working. I've not really considered the Tax Offics as part of Parc Ty Glas (as the Ind Estate was mosty woods and a Corona factory when I was a kid), but I suppose they are. I wonder how much of the Offices the Inland Revenue actually uses - a lot of it is rented out (which I tried to convey in the intro). There used to be stories about the floor of blacked-out windows near the top. I think S4C came in recently (or in the last few years at least) - I'm not sure which part of Ty Glas they are in. This article needs lots of work for sure - I'm hoping somebody local who knows things will wander in and do it! I daren't look into it too much - I don't have the time! Different people editing over wide gaps in time can often lead to jumbled paragraphs of course, but unfortunately there is no localised discussion going on to iron things out. --Matt Lewis 20:10, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Llanisien or Llannisien?

I note the lack of any description of this St Isien / Isan here or elsewhere. I have, however, found the benign character Nisien from the Mabinogion. Might it be he? 124.189.8.46 (talk) 06:10, 24 January 2012 (UTC) Ian Ison
