From Rowson & Wright book:
"The extreme lower left of this view shows the Terminus Hotel on the corner of Mill Lane and St Mary Street, which had been a canal landmark since 1862. Shortly after it was built, the row of cottages opposite was demolished so that Mill Lane could be widened to reveal the canal below and to accommodate the horse tramway to Bute Street and Pierhead.
.. The subject of this photograph is the housing which lay on the south-east bank of the canal. For twenty years from the mid-1850s to the 1870s, this was the infamous 'red light' district of Cardiff - serving sailors, dock workers and canal boatmen alike."
