Colour photograph showing the Wood Street and the St Mary Street façades of the former Prince of Wales theatre in Cardiff. Taken from across the wide junction where Wood Street meets St Mary Street, it shows the Wood Street façade to the right and the St Mary Street façade to the left, with a three-storey, rubble stone corner site in between containing ‘The Bag Shop’ at ground floor level. The Wood Street façade, also in three storeys, is built in a Gothic style using ashlar stone, with traceried windows, canopied niches and a hipped roof above. Two large arches form the centrepiece of the façade at first floor level, with ornate decoration including a small circular window in between. The ground floor contains the entrance to a ‘Megazone’. The St Mary Street façade shows a central bay between shop buildings constructed in a Greek Revival style to reflect the Gothic style 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 above a canopy bearing the words THE PRINCE OF WALES. The outer bays are in brick and stone with tall arched windows on the two upper storeys and shops occupying the ground floor.
