I recently digitised this raw footage shot on SVHS-C in Central Cardiff in May 2003. I recorded how the area looked for a news-style report /university project, on the then-upcoming demolition and re-development of The Hayes and building of St David's 2 Shopping Centre.

I've added some side-by-side shots from Google Street View, to make it clear what was where. Tredegar St is the hardest to place, as today it's a far narrower footway running between St David's 2 and John Lewis.

The camera work is not the best, with SVHS-C being a very grainy stock to use, and I still wish I'd given proper tours of the car parks and shops. But it gives a snapshot of Cardiff just a few years into the new millennium.

I also have somewhere a full interior tour of the Tregegar St Library, shot on Mini DV, so much better quality. I'll get that uploaded when possible.
