Caroline Street is a pedestrianised street running east/west in the lower part of Cardiff city centre, located between The Hayes and St. Mary's Street. It is known locally as Chippy Alley due to the propensity of fast food shops that make the street their home.
In 2003, after the development of the mixed-use Old Brewery Quarter from Brains Brewery former premises, and the proposed redevelopment of both the St Davids Centre and The Hayes, it was decided to refurbish Caroline Street. Pedestrianised, the street floor structure was given a stone based easy-clean finish, although late at night this has still not resolved the problem of customers slipping over onto the street even when sober, due to the shear volume of food packaging and food waste which the street accumulates. It has however made ot far easier to clean and keep clean.
In 2011, Polish student Maciej Dakowicz released his collection of photo's entitled Cardiff After Dark, many of the shots of which were shot either on or around Caroline Street.<refMaciej Dakowicz. web "Cardiff After Dark". flickr.com.
