West Lodge, Bute Park, Castle Street, Cardiff — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

It may have controlled carriage traffic or marked the boundary between private land and public city, yet its exact role has faded. The lodge still occupies the threshold, waiting for someone to remember what it guarded.
