Volume Eleven - Pre-Victorian to the Present Day - some more aspects - All Change at Cogan Junction and Llandough Sidings . . .



1955 - British Railways locomotive 82036 at Dinas Powis station on the down line to Barry via Cadoxton, Barry Docks, Barry Town and Barry Island during September 1955. [1041] Note the chimney of the Gwalia Brickworks and the sheds behind the chimney were situated within the old quarry and housed a saw mill where they made coffins as well as providing the wooden panels for our garden workshop in the Murch! The lower image has been colourised.

	A colourised enlargement showing one of the gas lights which illuminated Dinas Powis (Dynas Powis) station platforms and subway. I was told as a child that they were fuelled by natural gas and not consumer or town gas, but I am unable to find any reference to substantiate this statement. Can anyone assist me please? [1041]
