Penarth Dock - A postcard from the B. & D.'s 'Kromo' Series - Picture Postcard Pioneers, London E. C. with enlargements below. Note that the dock is devoid of shipping on the northern quay but many coal wagons await tipping on the sidings. There are no steam engines, not even a wisp of steam or smoke can be seen. Maybe this a photograph was taken in 1900 at the time of the historic TVR strike. Another heritage postcard from the Penarth Dock Collection. [001]

A small section of the GWR Penarth Dock and Harbour Tenancies Plan dating from the 1920's which clearly illustrates the Penarth Dock engine-shed, its station, the Penarth Extension line to town plus is shows the complexity of the sidings to and from the dockside coal tips.
