The Last Train Penarth - The design on this card is the copyright of The Cynicus Publishing Co., Ltd., Tayport, Fife. The postcard is dated July 1907 and is held within the Penarth Dock Collection. [001]

If you want good sport - Come to Penarth - Our Shooting Party - Another Cynicus humorous postcard.

Penarth - I Am Leavin' 'Ere - Yours, in great haste! - A "Everton" Series postcard published by Thomas Bros. & Company of Everton, Liverpool. The driver shouts 'Look sharp!' and the gentleman's bag has a label 'Walker, London'. I am not sure of the significance of the name but the lady chasing him has a Bill in hand which names Mr. Walker to Mrs. Jones. The artist is sadly not named. Another heritage postcard held within the Penarth Dock Collection. [001]

On the Sands at Penarth - Yet another humorous postcard masterpiece emanating from The Cynicus Publishing Co., Ltd., Tayport, Fife. The postcard also dates from the first decade of the twentieth century and is held within the Penarth Dock Collection. [001]

P.S. Oh, and by the way, there is very little sand at Penarth, mostly pebbles, discarded plastic, seaweed and mud!!
