The large Dixons was the first occupant of that redevelopment, but I have a feeling it was Burtons before it was demolished (with the exterior retained).
There's a photo posted on Cardiff Now and Then on Facebook and it shows the Top Shop unit prior to redevelopment. It was split between Clinton Cards and H.Samuel with Dixons in it's old unit which is now half Clintons.

Walking past Howells around 7pm, it looks like it has closed down, all the windows are blacked out (at least on St Mary Street/Wharton Street). Have I missed something?
Basically the application is limited to removing post 1970 alterations to create an open air courtyard in front of Bethany chapel with access from both Wharton street and Saint Mary street and clearing out a lot of crud from the parts of the site that HoF have vacated. It early days but this is very promising.
The heritage impact statement is a fascinating read.
