Pierhead Building

️Sun Feb 12 2023

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

The Pierhead Building was a building in Tiger Bay, Cardiff. It had a red-brick gothic façade.

In 1953, Kenneth Valentine and Charles Cromwell watched the unloading of the Facklaträfat, and the subsequent explosion, from a few hundred metres away, in front of the Pierhead Building. (PROSE: Trace Memory)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Originally known as Tiger Bay, the area around the Pierhead Building was later redeveloped as Cardiff Bay.
