During our visit to Cardiff Castle (see last post), we found that the stone walls surrounding the castle, which were embedded in thick dirt walls, had been used as air raid shelters during WWII. These subterranean halls went throughout the castle walls (a half mile or more).
There were posters on the walls reminding everyone about the danger posed by the Germans. This was our favorite.
After visiting the castle, we took this water taxi to the main quay.
The Cardiff docks had once been the loading docks for coal from Wales. This is a picture of the main office building for the docks, the Pierhead Building.
I'm pretty sure this is a recent addition.
And look who's famous here, as well.
