The Gaiety Cinema in City Road
The Gaiety Grand Cinema opened in 1912, originally with a seating capacity of 800. The most notable feature of the facade is a pair of small domes on either side of the entrance.
It was re-modelled and enlarged in 1934 by architect William S. Wort and the seating capacity increased to 1,518. In the 60's it became bowling alley and then a bingo hall, now it stands shabby and forlorn awaiting a new buyer.

St Martin's Roath, and pawnbroker
This late C19 Victorian Gothic church was badly damaged during WW2 and extensively rebuilt in 1951. It follows the Catholic tradition within the Church in Wales. Spiritual consolations do not however provide for the immediate material needs of the impoverished who may resort to the next-door establishment instead.
