'' Cardiff are one of the great clubs in world rugby and have provided more players for the Welsh national team and the British & Irish Lions than any other in Wales, '' said Mr. I. M. Bean, who is head of sport at the channel. It all started in 1876 when Cardiff Rugby Football Club was founded following a meeting at Swiss Hall, Queen Street, when the amalgamation of two clubs, Glamorgan and Cardiff Wanderers was agreed. The first competitive game was played at Wentloog Marshes on 2nd December that year. The first home game was played at Sophia Gardens, but the club soon relocated to its famous ground at Cardiff Arms Park which was named after the local Cardiff Arms public house and on the grounds of the old Cardiff Hotel. Cardiff's iconic home was soon to be shared by Wales, who staged internationals on the ground from 12th April, 1884 until 15th March,1997. Wales beat Ireland by two tries and a dropped goal to nil in their first international at Cardiff Arms Park, but lost their last one 34-13 against England.

The Pierhead Appraisal had recommended the following amendments to the existing Conservation Area boundary (a) the inclusion of Graving Docks 2 and 3, their docksides, and the adjacent Powerhouse building; (b) the inclusion of the Techniquest building; (c) the inclusion of the rear spaces of Nos 5 to 12, Bute Crescent; (d) the re-definition of the North-East boundary to include all of the public space around Roald Dahl Plass, and in front of and south- east of the Senydd building; the Senedd building itself; the Wales Millennium Centre; and their surrounding public space; and (e) the re-definition of the Southern boundary to include the two listed signal platforms associated with the former docks and to achieve the complete inclusion of the two ‘pier’ structures.
