Memories of life at eyesore flats

Looking out across the peaceful water, every major Cardiff sight is there to behold.

Straight ahead is the luxury St David's Hotel and beside it, the impressive Wales Millennium Centre. To the other side, you can see the landmark Millennium Stadium, while in the distance are rolling hills and valleys.

But a swift 180 degree turn around from this five-star view transports the admirer into a completely different world.

There's no 'Millionnaire's Row' of homes here: Penarth Heights - or the Billybanks as it is known locally - is a shell of a housing estate. "

And dotted here and there are a variety of booths, comfy chairs with mini desks attached and seated areas where you can sit and relax with a cup of coffee. The new library will even be home to more than 90 public access PCs. "
