Humble history of shopping site

""After the bomb damage during the war, there was a major effort to clear out the slum housing from that area, and we gradually started to see things like the original St David's popping up, along with new posh apartments on Westgate Street.

"At the time there was a terrible outcry, but now people are bemoaning the passing of David Morgan's and the old library.

"Today's eyesores are no more than tomorrow's landmarks!" "

Gwyneth Lewis - Wales Millennium Centre

"Creu Gwir fel Gwydr o Ffwrnais Awen
(Translation: 'Creating truth like glass from inspiration's furnace'.)

I wanted the words to reflect the architecture of the building. Its copper dome reminded me of the furnaces from Wales's industrial heritage and also Ceridwen's cauldron, from which the early poet Taliesin received his inspiration ('awen'). 'Awen' suggests both poetic inspiration and the general creative vision by which people and societies form their aspirations. "
