"I'm trying to find out the story behind the Captain's Wife pub in Sully and would appreciate any historical information anyone has on it."

Simon Medalia in Israel has the answer:

"The wonderful wooden floors were made from the decking of WWII warships that were being broken up in Cardiff docks. There was/is a cobbled courtyard and a well behind the building and stables were turned into an exquisite restaurant.

"There were stories of ghosts, haunted buildings, secret underground caverns and tunnels from the courtyard to Sully Island - used by smugglers years ago. The story is that a sea captain secretly took his wife onboard his ship. She died and he had to get her off the ship without the superstitious sailors knowing about it. Supposedly she was brought ashore at Swanbridge.

"The pub was a wonderful place. It was extremely popular and people travelled from far to visit. In the 1990s the pub changed hands and as time passed it lost its soul and charm. For the many who cherished 'the Wife' in the 'good old days', the pub's demise is truly sad."
