it's been closed many years mate.

Only about 5 years.

5 years ? serious ? I thought it was still open I just never paid attention if I ever walked passed why did it close ?

Probably because nobody took any notice of it an just used to walk past

Closed quite suddenly, more or less overnight, if I remember correctly. Been quite a while though

Closed December 2008

CALLS for a crisis summit to discuss the survival of Cardiff's unique arcades have been made following the sudden loss of city centre "icon"

Woodies Emporium.

Business leaders have voiced fears the city will lose "the jewel in its crown" if the arcades are allowed to die.

The closure of Woodies Emporium in the 112-year-old Morgan Arcade at the weekend follows the loss of other small and medium-sized businesses from the capital's 12 arcades in recent years.

David Hughes-Lewis, chairman of Cardiff Retail Partnership and owner of Jonathan David Jewellers in Morgan Arcade, told the Echo: "The arcades and the independent retailers that occupy them are what makes Cardiff unique.

"It's all very well having a Marks & Spencer and a John Lewis but so does every other major city.

"The arcades are the heart of Cardiff and no-one wants to see that heart ripped out."

The disappearance of Woodies comes just months after managing director Ray Bacon said he had seen a dramatic drop in trade due to Cardiff council's implementation of a ban on private cars using St Mary Street, one of the city centre's main arteries.

Other arcade traders have also complained about the lack of private car access to the one end of Morgan Arcade in St Mary Street and the other in The Hayes - rendered inaccessible by the development of the St David's
