Brunel Looking South, c. 1871 - A Glimpse into Cardiff's Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the early 1870s, offering a rare glimpse into the bustling city of Cardiff before its transformation. Standing atop the Castle's majestic clock tower, we find ourselves in the company of none other than Isambard Kingdom Brunel himself, one of history's greatest engineers. As our eyes wander southward from this vantage point, we are greeted by a scene that is both familiar and yet remarkably different from what we know today. The foreground reveals Womanby Street, adorned with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their daily lives. Beyond lies Cardiff Arms Park, already establishing itself as a hub for sports and recreation. But it is the distant view that truly captivates our imagination - Temperance Town emerges on the horizon alongside an unrecognizable railway station. These landmarks serve as reminders of Cardiff's rapid growth during this era. Preserved through time by Mirrorpix and now made available through Memory Lane Prints, this remarkable image allows us to reflect upon how far our beloved city has come since those early days. It invites us to appreciate not only Brunel's visionary contributions but also the rich sporting heritage that continues to thrive within these streets. Step into history with "Brunel Looking South" – a testament to Cardiff's past and an invitation to celebrate its enduring spirit in rugby and sport alike.
