Penarth Dock, South Wales - the heritage and legacy

Volume Nine - Pre-Victorian to the present day - even more aspects - The Work of Martin J. Ridley - Photographer . . .

◊ Barry Docks - A view of No.1 Dock with green hills where Barry town should be! Artistic license and a sense of humour of which I approve! The artist also had a twitch of his/her brush when touching up with brown tint the vessels moored mid-dock ; one too many Schnapps perhaps the night before! Another tinted postcard version of a Martin J. Ridley photograph which was probably badly produced by a German processing method. A heritage postcard record held within the Penarth Dock Collection.

◊ Barry Docks - A view of No.1 Dock c.1905 with the town of Barry distant! Barry Docks with steamships at the quaysides and waiting at anchor to load up. Includes 'Nymphea' of North Shields and 'Fallodon Hall' of Liverpool. A digital record from the archive of the National Library of Wales at Aberystwyth of the work of Martin J. Ridley, photographer during the years 1900 to 1910. The archive record is a black and white, glass dry-plate negative. [439] [Preferred citation : Ridley 0374] [20190302]
