Construction of the Dock Feeder Canal was completed in 1841. A weir, a little further north of here, took water from the River Taff and fed into the Bute Docks
The feeder winds its way through Bute Park
The waterway adjacent to the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama
The feeder was built along the route of a former medieval mill leat. The mill itself was located here at the west wall of Cardiff Castle

Another view of the access bridge with North Road beyond. From this point the feeder ran under the Glamorganshire Canal. Currently the feeder runs below the city streets on its way to Atlantic Wharf
The feeder re-emerges here as seen from Bute Terrace. A little further south it can be seen on its journey under Herbert Street.
The Junction Canal linked both Bute Docks; and for several yards shared the course of the Feeder Canal on its way to the northern end of the East Dock to the right.
The feeder continued left, in this image, towards a central west junction with the dock
