The Corporation, Grade II listed pub in Canton, Cardiff
The Corporation is a pub from 1889 located at 188 Cowbridge Road East, displaying traditional architectural features and sitting prominently at a corner position. The building is undergoing renovation to become a mixed-use space with indoor and outdoor areas for independent vendors and food traders.
The building opened as a pub in 1889, serving the local community for over a century. Cardiff Council auctioned the property in 2018, marking the end of its operation as a traditional public house.
The building functioned as a gathering place for football supporters heading to matches, becoming part of Cardiff's local sports identity.
The building is currently closed for renovation work and not accessible to visitors at this time. Before planning a visit, check the current status as the transformation into a marketplace will alter how people can access and use the space.
The renovation plans include doors opening directly onto a yard space, blending indoor vendor areas with outdoor market activities. This design approach will transform the historic building into a hybrid marketplace combining shopping and gathering in one industrial-styled setting.
