Museum interested in saving pub

"A 155-year-old pub which is due to be demolished next year could be preserved at an open-air museum.

The Vulcan Hotel in Adamsdown, Cardiff, is due to close next year to make way for a car park.

But the National History Museum at St Fagans near Cardiff is keen to add a pub to its collection of buildings.

A museum spokesperson said it would "gladly consider" preserving the Vulcan at St Fagans and would be taking a "closer look" at the pub.

The Vulcan, which still has some of its original features, is one of Cardiff's oldest pubs and has previously been voted the city's pub of the year. "
