Dr Kathryn Ferry Dr Toby Driver CBHC / RCAHMW Built summer of 1968, I'll see if I can find the architect. Glamorgan Archives have some images I remember from the talk Rhian Diggins gave to C20 Cymru
Does anyone remember this building in #Penarth ? It was a combined car park and amusement arcade over the beach. I'm trying to find out when it was built and possibly an architect name. 1970s I imagine...

The imposing Carmarthen County Hall was designed by Sir Percy Thomas in 1935 but was not completed until 1955. It was built on the site of Carmarthen Gaol, which was itself built on the site of Carmarthen Castle
