Description

In 1970, The Marina was leased by Ken Jones who refurbished it and renamed it "The Commodore". Its popularity through the days of disco saw it remain a central place for socialising in Penarth, with a popular bar upstairs called The French Suite. While there were not as many organised dances, it was a popular venue for parties and functions.
