St David's Hospital Front, Cowbridge Road, Canton
This is a photograph of the front of St David's Hospital which pretty much looks like it did when I was born there back in the 50's. I don't think it's used as a hospital any longer now though.

Trilingual Wales: former Cardiff Synagogue
This former synagogue is to be found in Cardiff/Caerdydd on Cathedral Road. As you can maybe see, it's been converted to offices - it's not just churches which suffer this fate. There was once a fairly substantial Jewish population in South Wales, most of which has disappeared due to various factors. The inscription above the door is in Hebrew, the sign outside the door in English, and the parking restrictions in English and Welsh!
