How badly was Cardiff hit?
I know that the centre of Swansea was flattened but to my eye a lot of the city centre and surrounds looks as if it may pre date WW2.
The docks would be a natural target but was any other part of Cardiff targeted?
Hopefully the programme is on BBC I player, which would probably answer my question!

How badly was Cardiff hit?The program basically said the docks and steel works were the German`s targets from their intelligence photographs.
