Loudoun Square
Loudoun Square is a residential square in Cardiff, Wales, described as "the heart of the old Tiger Bay". The square is the location of two of Cardiff's few residential tower blocks, as well as shops, a pub, church, health centre and community centre.
==History==
During the 1840s the Marquess of Bute created the residential area of Butetown, to house workers for the new Cardiff Docks.〔 After his death (in 1848), and the death in 1852 of the owner of a glassworks on the site, land was acquired between West Bute Street (to the east) and the Glamorganshire Canal (to the west) to create a large square of three-storey decorative houses.〔Evans, Dosworth, Barnett, ''Below the Bridge'', p. 23〕 It was shown as "Luton Square" on an 1855 map.〔 The square was a "jewell" in "perhaps the poshest place in town" surrounding a green, tranquil park with its houses home to shipwrights, mariners, merchants, brokers and builders. The area became highly multicultural, "one of the most colourful and cosmopolitan communities on Earth".〔
By the 1880s the wealthier residents had moved away to the new suburbs. While the nearby Mount Stuart Square became the site for an impressive new Coal Exchange building, Loudoun Square became increasingly overcrowded as residents took in tenants to help pay the high rents.〔Evans, Dosworth, Barnett, ''Below the Bridge'', pp. 43-44〕 The Loudoun Square area became known as "Tiger Bay", and the racial composition became even more diverse with the arrival of seafarers on the ships in the period before the Great War.〔
