Pierhead Building

The Pierhead Building was a building in Tiger Bay, Cardiff. It had a red-brick gothic façade.

In 1953, Kenneth Valentine and Charles Cromwell watched the unloading of the Facklaträfat, and the subsequent explosion, from a few hundred metres away, in front of the Pierhead Building. (PROSE: Trace Memory)
