Not sure why it wasn't as not an abundance of that type of building left in Cardiff. Council probably didn't want to do they could coin it in as they did for flats

This was from the Novotel Hotel not far from the site of The Wharf Pub actually. In their bar and the basement toilets they have loads of old Cardiff photos if anyone is passing, or interested.
