"Stop Seamen and take a draught, there be danger here both fore and aft,
and learn to shun that wicked craft who looks at yonder door.
The compass that is stationed here will from danger keep you clear.
And show you how to steer, on this dreadful shore,
Heed not the the music or the sport, here in the alley or the court.
They'll both entice you to a port, beset with rock and reef, and ere from then you cannot return,
They'll overhaul the cash you earn, using you from stem to stern and bring you all to grief"

This great poem was on a plaque fixed to the fountain warning sailors of the perils of drink and loose women in some of the many hundreds of pubs and drinking dens that once surrounded Cardiff Docks

The railings here still exist. I love that Ford Capri.
