1950's - Royal Naval Reserve vessels laid up at Penarth Dock. A view from the high ground overlooking the cut and the east and west mud with the Cardiff Docks beyond. The Missions to Seamen building has now been demolished and the swing bridge appears to have been removed. A number of Quonson huts remain as a legacy of WWII and of our American allies. The enlarged images have been colourised.
The original photograph from the John Eurof Martin Collection is held at the archive of the National Museum of Wales. [Museum item number : 1997.264/209 or 210?] [629] [20180407]
