Volume Six - Pre-Victorian to the Present Day - Select Aspects - Working the Ely Tidal Harbour . . .
A view taken looking down the river Ely toward the sea in a hazy sea mist. On the left we have the remnants of coal tip number 1 with the iron ore wharf beyond. In the distance there appears to be work underway on the construction of the Cardiff Bay barrage dating this image to the early 1990's. [000][002]
A photo of the remains of the iron ore wharf built on the northern bank of the river Ely and opened in July 1887. Part of the decking remains and some of the original pitching, the stone protection of the river bank which remains from when the Ely Tidal Harbour was constructed. [000][069]
