    The Map of Butetown


    From the valleys of Wales coal and iron would be transported down the canal
    from Merthyr to Melingriffith, to Blackweir and town centre, then on through Butetown
    to the sea lock gates.

    From across the seven seas


    men would navigate their ships to Tiger Bay
    On arrival they would check the time by the Pierhead Building clock,
    run to get their land pass stamped
    then to find a place to stay
    “I need to find a bed in a boarding house on Bute Street.
    Could you please tell me the way.”
