1865 - No 16 - Elevation of dock wall. - Another view of their masterpiece with its masonry vaulted arches which added strength but apparently saved time and money on transportation of Radyr stone to Penarth. I'm not sure if this was true but whatever reason that John Hawkshaw, the designer of the dock, decided was paramount, you have to agree that the workmanship of the masons employed is truly inspiring. The lower enlargement has been colourised.
