Product Description

This fascinating collection of 200 photographs, selected mainly from the Butetown History and Arts Centre archives, provides an unparalleled insight into the history of Cardiff’s docklands, including the multi-cultural community known throughout the world as Tiger Bay. Butetown and Cardiff Docks provides glimpses of the metamorphosis of the docks from a small harbour to the leading coal exporting port in the world. The book also introduces the reader to some of the personalities that inhabited the area and brings alive sights and scenes portraying the area’s rich historical heritage. The reader will encounter street scenes, with buildings that are long gone, demolished to make way for what is now known as Cardiff Bay. Butetown and Cardiff Docks is part of the Images of Wales Series, published by Tempus.
