The Coal Exchange

The Coal Exchange is a historic building in Cardiff, Wales, once a hub for the coal industry’s business dealings. It served as a marketplace where coal traders, shipping companies, and financiers negotiated deals and set prices for coal exports. Architecturally impressive with grand interiors, it symbolized Cardiff’s importance in the global coal trade during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, it’s recognized for its heritage, representing the city’s industrial past, and has been repurposed for various uses such as events and conference spaces.
