Cardiff wouldn't be the major port it was and is and would just be a small place if it wasn't for the feeder canal

By taking excess water off the taff and directing it into the docks it meant that the docks that built the city would be able to operate 24 hours a day ......and the industry that relied on the docks knew the water would never get too low and dry out ......so cardiff had an advantage over many other British ports

It's an incredible part of the history of Cardiff and in years to come a quarter of the city centre will be seeing the canal
