Coverage stretches from Pontypridd Road and Salisbury Road eastward to Morel Street and George Street, and from North Walk southward to the No. 1 Dock. The northern part of the No.1 Dock is shown with detail including a dozen of the coal hoists, with railway sidings and even including mooring posts. Other features include GWR General Offices, locomotive repairing works, Jenner Park football ground, municipal buildings, Memorial Hall, Glamorgan Training College, Alexandra Gardens, St Paul`s church and many streets of housing. Each map has extracts from a 1906 directory.
