| An aerial view taken in 1987 looking toward Penarth Head. The new dam which forms the western extent of the marina is complete and the land behind filled and leveled. New gates have been fitted
to the sea locks and a dredger is moored up awaiting the tide before returning to work. The pontoons and moorings of the marina in the former basin are installed and building has commenced upon the houses and apartments on the quaysides. Following the line of the River Ely upstream, the new cut is clear as is the landfill site to the right where the meanders used to be.
And look at all that lovely mud of the Penarth Flats where the seabirds used to dig for a wriggly meal.
