Penarth from Lavernock - A postcard view from the headland where Mr. Marconi created history by the first radio transmission over sea to Flatholm in 1897. See : A technological development of great value to mariners of all nations for more information. The postcard was published by W. H. Smith & Son Limited of London but the date is not known but is later than the new pavilion at the head of the Penarth Pier which opened during 1898. This heritage image, with colourised version below, is held within the Penarth Dock Collection. [001]
