| The Constitutional Club.
This was the third and largest home of the club, opening in 1894.
It houses many rooms, but best known as accommodating the 'Palace Theatre of Varieties', 'New Empire Theatre', 'Empire Hall ballroom and concert hall'. In the 1960s, the 'Go-Go Bar' and most recently a Nightclub. All names for essentially the same space within the building.

I assume from the current map that the station was moved to the other side of the river at some point. |

This station was the ex Taff Vale (Low Level) Station. The other station was the Great Western Railway (High Level) Station. Both stations closed in 1964 but a new station was opened on the site of the High Level Station in October 1988. |
