An enlargement of the photo taken from the 'Sketch Magazine' snippet of July 1905 the text of which stated that the 'Exmouth' is now being broken up in Penarth Dock. [001] [362] Having studied the image closely, I and am satisfied that this photograph was not taken in the Penarth Dock or the Ely Tidal Harbour since the coal tips, distant, are not of a type installed at Penarth. On the south side of the Penarth Dock the stone lining is at a much steeper angle. The river Ely had stone lining at a similar angle but there were no coal tips on the opposite bank of this type. It is, therefore, a mystery where this photo was taken. |
