The above photograph is from the Glamorgan Archives and is of the visit of Edward VII to Cardiff in July 1907. The archive states that he visited Penarth Dock but I can find no firm record to confirm this statement. The purpose of the visit to South Wales was the opening of the Alexandra Dock at Cardiff ; a state occasion undertaken by King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra on the 13th July of that year.

'The King's Visit to Cardiff - The Royal Yacht 'Victoria' passing Penarth Head prior to entering Queen Alexandra Dock, Cardiff - June 1912.' This fine photographic record is accredited to L. E. Wehrley, Penarth whom I believe to be George Wehrley's elder brother Leopold Ernest Wehrley. He is recorded as being a railway clerk in the census of the previous year, so we all agree that it is an extremely good photo from an 'amateur'! The postcard complete with a halfpenny-stamp was posted in 1913 to an address in Runcorn, Cheshire. Another historic postcard from the Penarth Dock Collection ; together with a colourised version. [001]
