A section of 1830 OS map in the vicinity of Penarth Head. Cwtsh-y-Cwm is the pill close-by the Penarth Head Inn. The Inn was situated at the head of a shingle beach sheltered from the prevailing winds and within easy reach of Cardiff; the “centre of villainy.” Note the Upper and Lower Marshes; these being the proposed site of the Penarth Dock.
