Fascinating Carparks of Urban Wales

An example of 1960s or 1970s “Dull Grey” concrete architecture. Notice the attractive “forecourt” minipark in front, in which the more expensive cars (including a classy black Peugeot 106 and a sporty red L-reg Vauxhall Astra) can be put on prominent public display, and the “prison bars” on the first floor, a relic of the era where English cars needed somewhere to park protected from the infamous Welsh Carpark Mobs during the independence riots of 1983. A more perfect example of the style you will not find.

    That’s a 105. 😉 Also a Corsa, a Punto, a Mondeo (far right), a Polo, a 306 (2nd from far left), and sadly I can’t identify the other 2.

    Sorry, I should have said ‘306 Mk 2’
