The mishap at tip number 3 at the eastern end of the Penarth Dock. I believe it is only coal that should be in the chute and coal wagons are unwelcome! The precise date is not known but is probably from the first decade of the 20th century.

The coal wagon belonged to Burnyeat, Brown and Co., Ltd., Insoles (Methyr) Smokeless Steam Coal Company which was one of the most influential families in the South Wales mining community. The Insoles lived at Llandaff and were described as coalowners and shippers. The company of Burnyeat, Brown and Co., Ltd., owned mines at Abergorky, Treorchy and had its registered office at 20, Exchange Buildings, Cardiff, according to the 1923 Colliery Year Book and Coal Trades Directory.
