Photo of Cardiff, St Mary Street 1893

More about this scene

St Mary Street is one of the city's main thoroughfares, where shoppers and visitors could find the finest hotels, theatres and department stores, all built in a grandiose manner. Here we can see a range of mid to late Victorian architecture. The road is unsurfaced, but the tramlines are clearly visible—there is a tram in the distance. This is a busy scene, with milk churns on one side of the street and casks of ale on the other (right). Note the various horse-drawn vehicles.

I like this photograph because it reminds me of when I used to travel in to Cardiff by train from Barry where I lived. I worked in the National Provincial Bank in St.Mary Street. I had some lovely friends and times
