“In Butetown there existed a total racial harmony,” recalls 56 year-old Richard Cordle who was born and bred in the area. “It was pure heaven. You had every race under the sun here, everyone knew each other, including every last shop owner and landlord. Everybody helped each other out if they were in trouble. It was like one big extended family made up of people who were proud of their community. I am and always will be proud to be a docks boy.”
