Tiger BayTiger Bay is the former dock area of Cardiff. It is now revitalised as Cardiff Bay due to the building of the multi-million pound Cardiff Barrage which dams the tidal rivers Ely and Taff to create a body of water. Tiger Bay was notorious for being a tough area. It also had a well-integrated multi-racial community, its most famous former resident being Shirley Bassey. The British film, Tiger Bay (1959), starred John Mills and Hayley Mills. Shot on location in Tiger Bay, it features many authentic scenes of the children's street culture, and the black street culture, of the time. It also features many dockside shots, scenes in real pubs and in the countryside that surrounds the area. The movie marks a vital transitional moment in the move towards the British new wave cinema exemplified a few years later by A Taste of Honey (1961).
