if
it's about Cardiff..
Sport, Entertainment, Transportation, Business,
Development Projects, Leisure, Eating, Drinking,
Nightlife, Shopping, Train Spotting! etc.. then we want it here!
as previously discussed here the old water tower near central train is being refurbed into a very dull brown .. work has began but it a shame they could not have continued with a welsh theme of some sorts ... i understand the need to preserve it but a brown water tower is exactly that .. a brown water tower
I liked the daffodil but it was in a sorry state. The GWR 'chocolate and cream' is a heritage idea I guess. It's pretty pointless unless they adopt the same approach with station signage etc.
I don't get to go into the city centre as much as I would like anymore so this is all news to me!
What a shame, the water tower will just be another bland and forgetable structure in the city now, I always liked the Daffs, somehow it was part of what made the city that little bit more fun.
I liked it because it was a bit different. When I was a kid and used to get the train from Bridgend into Cardiff I used to love seeing this every time the train pulled into Central.
It doesn't have to have a daff on it, or anything remotely Welsh related. I would just like it to be painted with some sort of design on it that's a bit different, it's the tiny things like that which set a city apart to me. I would have run a competition within the art class of the city schools and the winner's design gets to go on there. It wouldn't have cost all that much.
