IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Bridge Street, CARDIFF, CF10 2TH

New York Nails is at 1 Ivor House, Bridge Street on the corner of Love Lane near Rapports NCP Car Park. Gill's News shop is on the right.

Viewed from the corner of Bridge Street and Churchill Way. The major occupier of Ivor House is M.A. Rapport & Co Ltd, timepiece manufacturers. Various smaller businesses occupy the ground floor of Ivor House.

Looking across the junction of David and Bridge Streets, on which stands this imposing building, long-time headquarters of M.A. Rapport & Co Ltd, timepiece manufacturers. There is also a row of separate businesses on the Bridge Street frontage (left) and a pub facing onto David Street (Image).

Cranes and construction work are a common sight in central Cardiff. This view is looking west across Churchill Way.

Looking across David Street towards Image], which houses the Traders Tavern pub on the ground floor on this side.

The interior of Image probably hasn't changed all that much in donkeys' years, apart from the variety of posters for events at the neighbouring Cardiff International Arena (now the Motorpoint Arena), which seem to date mostly from the mid-1990s through to upcoming events. Belying the perhaps uninspiring appearance, this is a nice convivial city-centre pub with good beer and good reasonably priced food. We found this to be our place of preference while at a weekend event at the Arena - helped of course by its proximity on such a wet and windy weekend!

The presence of the Fire Service is not unusual in pedestrian precincts. Rightly they preach the fire prevention message. The street artist is perhaps less likely perceived to be engaged in fire prevention measures. He is however a street preacher and his ploy is to set up an easel and white board to demonstrate and preach his message of salvation from the fires of Hell.

The Bridge Street side of the bar & restaurant located in the converted former chapel on the corner of Churchill Way. In June 2017, a large notice on the Churchill Way side shows Standard Afternoon Tea £18.95. Champagne Afternoon Tea £25.95. Monday to Saturday 12pm-4pm.

This photo was taken from the now demolished David Street carpark. Charles street is on the left of the photo and Bridge Street runs left to right. The tall buildings in the middle distance are on Churchill Way.
