1958 - The view towards Penarth Dock from the Cogan Junction signal box. 'This view, from Cogan Junction signal box, shows tracks to the dock going off left, whilst the area in the centre was once occupied by high level lines to the coal tips. In the distance (right) can be seen the site of Penarth Dock engine shed, opened by the TVR in 1887 and closed by the GWR in 1929, at which time it housed about 20 engines. - May 1958'  [205]

The lower images have been colourised and show in more detail the rear of the works of the Penarth Pontoon Company Limited which became the Penarth Dock Engineering Company Limited where I served my apprenticeship and gained a loving wife!
