Content: Presented to the Welsh Arts Council. In 2002 transferred by the Arts Council of Wales to the National Library of Wales. The National Library of Wales website provides a description of the film, commencing as follows: 'Residents of Tiger Bay [now known as Butetown], Cardiff, recall the history of the area and the lives they have led there as the old terraced housing (and their community) is cleared and replaced with high-rise blocks of flats offering all the modern amenities. The film - directed and produced by Harley Jones* and Chris Bellinger - opens with shots of the new, mainly high-rise development in the area, and the remaining, now deserted, streets of Tiger Bay.
