  Façade of The Prince of Wales, Cardiff, 1995
• Description
  Black and white photograph showing the St Mary Street façade of the former Prince of Wales theatre in Cardiff. Taken from across St Mary Street, it shows a central bay between shop buildings constructed in a Greek Revival style to reflect the Gothic style of the theatre’s Wood Street façade just around the corner. Giant columns in-antis above the ground floor are linked by a triangular pediment, which is open below. A square-headed niche containing a statue forms the centrepiece of the façade, over a disused entrance with the canopy missing. The outer bays are in brick and stone with tall arched windows on the two upper storeys and shops occupying the ground floor.
