Volume Ten - Pre-Victorian to the present day - even more aspects - WWII - Increased Accommodation for Government Requirements . . .

During my visit to the National Museum of Wales Archives at Nantgarw in March 2018, I discovered a large plan prepared by the Great Western Railway during 1941, as part of the WWII war effort, showing increased accommodation for Government requirements at Penarth Dock. The following are extracts of this fine engineering plan.

1941 - Entrance Channel and Basin, including the Custom House and Mercantile Marine Office.
