| 1947 Directions |
The shed is in the heart of Cardiff Dockland.
Turn right outside Cardiff General Station into Saunders Road, and
continue into Customhouse Street. Turn right into Bute Street, and
continue for about ¾ mile. Turn left into the docks through the
main entrance opposite the end of James Street. Continue along the
dock road in an easterly direction crossing three small swing bridges.
The first is over the entrance to Bute West Dock, the second is between
Bute East Basin, and Bute East Dock, and the third is between Bute
East Dock and Roath Basin. The shed is on the left hand side of this
road a few yards further on. Walking time 30 minutes.
Note-The section of this itinerary actually in the dockland may
be difficult to follow as the roads and docks do not carry names.
The No. 16 (Pier Head) bus service operates from the Monument
at the end of Saunders Road to the entrance to the docks. |
