Historic Cardiff pub on city's most famous street reopens with new look

One of Cardiff's most beloved gay bars has reopened with a brand new look. The Corner House at the top of Caroline Street - better known as Chippy Lane - has just reopened after an interior refresh and six weeks of redecorating. The pub, which first opened its doors in 1874 under the name The King's Cross, has leaned into a premium aesthetic and its owners have described the new look as helping to provide a 'new and improved experience for customers' on Facebook featuring a slick, polished look while also incorporating lots of different warm colours. It is running as a pub, bar, and restaurant, making it the perfect spot to head into at any time if you're in the city centre. It's not the first time the pub has gone through an identity shift. In the early 1970s, it found a new identity and became a key part of Cardiff's gay nightlife. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here According to Cadw, it was here that the city's first official gay bar opened in 1972, just a few years after homosexuality was decriminalised in England and Wales. It quickly became known as the centre of gay life in the capital and hosted Cardiff University's Gay Society and also played a key role in the social scene for LGBTQ+ people during a time when safe, welcoming spaces were still rare. In a symbolic nod to its new community, the pub's sign was even changed to feature a portrait of King James VI and I - a monarch widely believed to have been gay. After nearly four decades as a gay venue, The King's Cross closed its doors in 2011, despite a campaign to save it. The site later reopened as The Corner House Bar and Restaurant but the building's historic importance was recognised in 1999 when it was granted listed status by Cadw. Now, the beloved venue is set for another new chapter with a fresh new look and it seems like there is plenty of excitement on social media following its revamp. The Corner House posted on Facebook: 'After a long six weeks, we are finally open for business and ready to show everyone our beautiful restaurant.' The pub sits among several historically significant LGBTQ+ venues in Cardiff. Nearby, the former Blue Anchor Hotel was home to Wales's first gay disco and the Cardiff Gay Liberation Front, while the Golden Cross which is still operating today remains a firm fixture of the city's queer nightlife. But what does the historic pub look like on the inside now? Here's a peek at the new pictures showing what The Corner House looks like after its makeover. Wales Online Cardiff Statues Quiz

Next Census to conclude by March 2027, says government

The next Census exercise, to be held after a long 16-year gap, will be finished by March 1, 2027, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs announced on Wednesday (June 4, 2025). This will be the first digital Census for India, and will include caste-based details as well. The census will be conducted in two phases by February 28, 2027, and the data will have a reference date of 12 a.m. on March 1, 2027. The government has, although, not yet notified when the exercise will begin. The notification of the Centre's intention to conduct the census, and the dates of the two phases will be 'published in the official gazette tentatively on June 16 as per provision of section 3 of the Census Act 1948.' For the Union Territory of Ladakh and the non-synchronous snow-bound areas of the UT of Jammu and Kashmir and the States of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, the reference date for the population count will be 12 a.m. on October 1, 2026. As per the constitutional mandate, the first census after 2026 can be used as the basis to redraw Lok Sabha constituencies. The next general election is expected to be held in 2029. India's census is conducted under the provisions of the Census Act, 1948 and the Census Rules, 1990, and will be completed in two phases: first, the house listing and housing schedule; and then, the population enumeration. Both phases usually span a period of 11 months from April 1 to February 28 the following year. This time around, caste will be enumerated in the second phase. 'A significant addition to the training manual would be the enumeration of caste. Another drop box to record the castes is likely to be added next to the Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) tables, the only two categories counted so far,' a senior government official said.
