Image: © Nigel Thompson Taken: 8 Jan 2013
Opened around 1840 (date uncertain) by the Taff Vale Railway as "Cardiff Bute Road", the name was changed to "Cardiff Docks" in 1845, reverted back to "Cardiff Bute Road' in 1924 and then became 'Cardiff Bay' in 1994. A Grade 2 listed structure in need of some TLC at the time this image was taken, it was refurbished in 2019. The remaining single platform is to the left of the building. The canopy to the right, at the end of the former platform 2, was demolished as part of the refurbishment.
