Tetbury Theatre Group Unusually for this year, it was a wet morning… … when we left Tetbury for our October theatre trip. We were off to the Millennium theatre, Cardiff to see Slava’s Snowshow. The Millennium Theatre is a fantastic venue and it is really worth going there just to see it. We left Tetbury at 10.00 am, hopeful of a nice morning at Cardiff Bay and even though it was wet the time went very quickly. Some of us had coffee and then a leisurely lunch at one of the many eating places - others took a taxi to the city centre and shops. I went with friends to the Pierhead Building which is a Grade 1 listed building of the national Assembly for Wales. It stands as one of Cardiff ’s most familiar landmarks - built in 1897 as headquarters for the Bute Dock Company, whose original building burnt down in 1892. The Bute Dock Company was renamed the Cardiff Railway company in 1897, and the Pierhead became the administration office for the port of Cardiff in 1947. It was opened to the public in 2010 as a history museum and exhibition hall, and it is very impressive and interesting inside with beautiful tiles and ceilings. Outside it is built of terracotta bricks which came from Wrexham in North Wales. The architect was William Frame, who worked with William Bruges on Cardiff castle. The clock on the building is known as “Baby Big Ben.”
