Cardiff City Council — Forensic Assessment
About this page type → Read the Docs
Assessed 14 October 2026. Scope: documented appearance in one 1961 deed, where the party is catalogued as “Cardiff City”. Which council or body that denotes is to be confirmed from the deed itself. Inclusion is not a finding of fault.
Documented appearances
| Date | Appearance | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 29 March 1961 | Party to a deed with Western Ground Rents Ltd and South Western Brick & Tile (on the WA231076 first-registration schedule). | GHF-E129 |
Current finding
As at 14 October 2026, the material reviewed does not establish wrongdoing. The deed’s terms and plan have not been read for this review.
Next step
Read the deed, confirm the contracting body and its successor, and ask the successor council and Glamorgan Archives for committee papers on the 1961 transaction. Acceptance: the body is identified and its records are located or a dated negative search is logged.

Added a cross-reference to the 1961 deed and three-part parcel analysis. The deed’s exact terms and Cardiff City’s capacity must be verified before drawing conclusions about ownership, authority or motive. See the Three-part Parcel A: chronology, order scope and later title transfers assessment for the cross-parcel chronology, competing explanations and prioritized document list.
Change record: Added this cross-reference and a dated guest-book entry to connect this page to the new three-part Parcel A analysis. This is an editorial synthesis of existing leads, not a newly discovered primary record or a finding of fraud.
Site-wide hypothesis: see the Cedwyn Estate Working Theory (HYPOTHESIS).
