Vulcan Hotel

Original location 10 Adam Street, Adamstown, Cardiff

Built 1853

Furnished 1915

Dismantled and moved to St Fagans 2012, rebuilding work is ongoing

When The Vulcan was built the area was known as Newtown. Newtown was built from the 1830s to house the growing workforce needed to build and service Cardiff Docks.

The Vulcan began life as two small terraced houses that were later knocked into one to form one larger building. It was first registered as an 'ale house' in 1853 and was called The Vulcan Inn. It offered lodgings on the first floor, which is also where the landlord and his family lived. After significant remodelling in 1914-15 it became The Vulcan Hotel.

The Vulcan Hotel is scheduled to open summer 2024.
