The remains of the iron ore wharf opened after the coal tips and ballast wharf. It was authorised on 9th November 1885 and reported to be complete by the 22nd July 1887. Thanks to Mr. Ben Salter, who is also passionate about recording the past, for posting this evocative image on his Flickr album of Old Cardiff Bay. [002] [069]
