Barry Docks. Taken by my Dad - a photo on Flickriver

Barry Docks. Taken by my Dad

            South end of the embankment to the western most coal tip in Dock No.2. The view is looking  north east. The final bit of line to the coal tip has been removed along with the tip itself which would have been just to the right of the photo. The line in the foreground linked the north side of Dock No 2 to the mainline. The vans were, I assume, being stored prior to entering Woodham's scrapyard but some over enthusiastic shunting probably meant the ones down the bank were broken up where they lay. The one on the right is a SR standard 12 ton van while the other three are BR built Banana vans, all with a 10 foot wheelbase judging by the XP branding.

The process date on the Kodak slide mount for this is stamped June 1971 but Dad had obviously taken very few photos for a while as this was from the same film as a picture of SDJR 7F 53808 which left in October 1970.

Taken on: January 1, 1970
