When Tiger Bay Roared: The Demise of Britannia Park
Listen now
Description
After a prolonged period of research and investigation of the controversy surrounding the building of a Military Medical Museum in Tiger Bay, Cardiff, we are excited to announce that the podcast ‘When Tiger Bay Roared’ has now finally released. Throughout the podcast, we managed to clear some of the thick smoke surrounding the events leading to the decision to build a Museum focused on showcasing Britain’s history of military medicine on Britannia Park, the last green space in the surrounding area. This fracturing decision by the Council was met with a vast array of negative reactions from different groups within the surrounding community, while others wholly supported it. By drawing on the views of senior officials working at the Museum as well as community leaders and other interested parties, we were able to bring together a host of contrasting opinions while critically analysing them in the historical context of the British military and the colonial expansion that took place in the late 19th century.
