A great photo (plus colourised version) of the Penarth Dock station taken in June 1921 shortly after the TVR relinquished ownership. Three employees proudly pose for the camera. On the foot bridge directions 'Over the Bridge for Trains to Penarth' and on the far side 'Way Out - Over the Bridge - To the Barry Trains'. A billboard on the right of the image advertises the current attractions at the Penarth Pier. In the distance is the TVR signal box and a train of full coal trucks awaiting tipping at the Penarth Dock; the shunting engine funnel is also visible. [001][260]
