IMO was the Empire pool. Also imo, the most iconic building that has remained, is the indoor market. I know many on here will say NP, or the CAP, but both have been replaced, on more or less the same spot. Anyway, other opinions are most welcome.

The coal exchange. Although it's still there, its being turned into some cheap tacky hotel-weding venue. A building with so much history, deserves so much more
Greyfriars
County Cinema Rumney & The Old Cross Inn ( its all we had in the East )
Not so much a building, but these ruins would/could have been a wonderful tourist attraction

Not looking to deviate, but these old Cardiff waterways are fascinating.

What would you put there? Aside from something like a concert hall or government building (which we're already well catered for in the Bay) it's never going to be anything but apartments, a restraunt or a hotel and personally I think the plans for it looks pretty good, seem to be going for a more up market hotel than a tacky wedding venue.
Maybe not the most iconic, but this takes me back:

Apart from the canal, which I'd love to see back, the arch between St Mary St and High St looked pretty cool.

Here you go. There was also one on Kinsway too.
And for a building that's still here..... Although still pretty new, i do like the Wales millennium centre. It's been a massive success, and has become world renowned as world class venue. Loydd Weber rated it as the. Best venue built in the last 50years
