Craft in the Bay Gallery, Cardiff

Located on the “Flourish” at the south end of Lloyd George Avenue, the Craft in the Bay Gallery consists of the award winning refurbished “D” Shed, a grade II listed maritime warehouse with a modern extension. The gallery is opposite the Wales Millennium Centre and is close to the Welsh Assembly Building. The "D" Shed is a cast-iron framed structure with cruciform columns, a roof structure and a variety of similarly unique features.

The structure is five 20 foot bays long and two 20 foot bays wide. It was erected as a transit warehouse and appeared on the first edition Ordinance Survey map from surveys carried out in the 1880s. Originally found alongside Bute East Dock Basin, it could access the train as well. The “D Shed” is one of the last remaining mid-nineteenth century buildings in Cardiff Bay and has a grade II listing.
