c.1862 - Building Penath Dock - impressive masonry. The mason artisans and their labourers work from the wooden scaffolds handling blocks of Radyr stone, some weighing several tons. A lovely schooner, or brig, is high in the water on the River Ely awaiting her load of Welsh steam coal! Note the area where the scaffold and infill is situated in the foreground, this is probably the infill from the Cwtch-y-Cwm pill. [007]  The lower image has been colourised.
