Volume Six - Pre-Victorian to the Present Day - Select Aspects - The subway under the river Ely story . . .
The remains of the subway entrance building on the northern or Ferry Road side of the river at the time of the survey in 1991. Only about one third of the structure remains and the roof is missing, although the cast iron ring surrounding the entrance to the subway proper remains in place. That would make a proper hearth for a cold winter's night! [009][060]
The entrance building on the Penarth Dock or southern side of the subway which was demolished in 1976 and approx. 75m of the subway lining was recovered and sold for scrap - about 350 tons! [002][069] The lower image has been colourised.
