Cardiff mural as it was

Hi - this is a photo of Thomson House in Cardiff, built 1959 as HQ of the Western Mail newspaper; it was taken around 2002. The 35 foot high mosaic mural is by landscape artist Ray Howard-Jones, and - in abstract form - represented the geographical area covered by the paper. It had survived one rebuilding of Thomson House, and was a very fine example of a postwar mosaic.
