Penarth Dock, South Wales - the heritage and legacy

Volume Twelve - Pre-Victorian to the Present Day - further aspects - Even More Moments Captured in Time - [vintage photo and postcard album] . . .


Pier & Esplanade - Penarth - Another fine postcard view taken from from just beyond the yacht club looking towards the pier c. 1905. It was published by Stewart & Wolfe of London, E.C. The image has been hand-coloured since the area beyond the pier is green and the Bute Docks and the Dowlais Iron and Steel works does not exist! The postcard is held within the Penarth Dock Collection. [001]


The Beach and Esplanade, W. Penarth - Another Lilywhite Limited postcard published up north in Triangle, near Halifax, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The view of the slipway of the yacht club is distant and the Beachcliff Villas are dominant in the foreground. I estimate the date of the photograph to similar to that above being c. 1905. The postcard is also held within the Penarth Dock Collection. [001]
