Just cataloguing a collection of photographs here at the IWM that include 4 of members of the Old Contemptibles of Wales outside their Club & Institute building in Cardiff. Anyone know the location of this building in Cardiff and its present use?

Thanks

The second photograph posted on that website is also represented in the collection we have at the IWM. The material we have copied relates to the service of Pte W H (Harry) Brooks, 2nd Welsh Regiment and covers his time as a POW in Germany and internee in Switzerland.

Wonder what happened to the original widow of the Institute depicted in the photo?
