Tiger Bay archive 'under threat unless home is found'

Thousands of photos, videos and documents charting the lives of people in Tiger Bay and Cardiff Docks is under threat without a home, a charity has warned.

Much of the archive, held by the Heritage and Cultural Exchange charity, has never been seen by the public before.

The archive includes stories of the residents who lived and died in the area at the turn of the 19th Century.

Gaynor Legall, the chair of the Heritage and Cultural Exchange, hopes a home for the archive could be used to better understand Tiger Bay's history.

"These are ordinary people - not kings and queens, not dukes and duchesses, but ordinary people who lived their lives," she said.
