Pierhead Building Cardiff Digital Art Postcard

Photograph of the Pierhead Building at Cardiff Bay, Cardiff, Wales UK which has had digital effects applied to it. You can personalise this design by replacing the title on the image with a short phrase of your own choice. The Pierhead Building opened in 1897 as the headquarters of the Cardiff Railway Company. It replaced the original Bute Dock Company offices which burnt down in 1892. The amazing Gothic Revival building was designed by Welsh architect William Frame and was built by William Thomas and Co. as the administrative office for South Wales Ports. Cardiff’s docklands have witnessed many changes over the last century, yet the Pierhead has remained a central feature in this remarkable area. The Pierhead is built of J C Edwards’ Ruabon terracotta brick. If you ever take a walk around Cardiff’s central suburbs, you’ll never be too far away from J C Edwards’ Ruabon red brick and glazed porch tiles!
