British School - c.1830 - The Lower End of the Sea Lock Pound, Cardiff - A painting borrowed from the National Museum and Galleries of Wales [120] and which is featured within the book 'The Glamorganshire and Aberdare Canals.' [528]

The text states : 'This was a very busy period for the canal and the artist may have restricted the number of boats and ships that he, or she, had to paint. On the left are the imposing glass cones from Guest's Works of 1824 and, beyond that, some sea-going vessels lie at the coal wharves, just beyond the Sea Lock entrance. On the right, a gaggle of geese graze on what remains of the Dumballs marshland next to the timber wharves, of which there is evidence in the floating timber and the timberman in his lighter in the foreground. An old cannon is in use as a mooring post (several were saved from this area and are now on display at Cardiff Castle). Behind the geese is the complex of buildings around the Sea Lock Hotel and the lockkeepers housing. In the right distance is the imposing Penarth Headland and St. Augustine's Church.'
