Davies and Son Boot and Shoe repairing depot, Wellfield Road, Roath, Cardiff, 1903

Description

This shop was located in Wellfield Road, in front of the side of where the old Globe Cinema stood. In 1900 it seems that the long side garden wall of no 109 was demolished and four lockup shops of varying but shallow depth were built with two floors above, which were apparently undisturbed by the construction of the auditorium of the Globe Cinema behind them in 1913-14. For many years, they were collectively known as Albany Buildings and were unnumbered. From about the 1920s onwards they were known as Cinema Buildings. This shop stood opposite the entrance to Bangor Street (the reflection of Eliott's general shop and the original prefabricated Methodist Church Hall is reflected in the window).
