Tramshed, Cardiff

[2] Tramshed is located in the refurbished Cardiff Tram Depot and Central Workshops, in the suburb of Grangetown.

[4] Its red brick buildings date from 1902, were extended in 1925 and served as the terminus for Cardiff's trams to the west of the city, from 1902 until 1946.

[5] The main street façade consists of eleven brick gables, each with a louvred oculus and two semi-circular windows at high level.

In 2002 and 2003 the buildings were first proposed as a site for a £3.5 million arts centre (named The Depot) as part of Cardiff's bid to become European Capital of Culture 2008.

[7] In November 2014 Cardiff Council revealed they were in "advanced negotiations" with a buyer[8] to transform the buildings into an arts centre which would include a gallery, dance studios, work units and conference facilities.
