Great one Mark!! :y :y :y :y :y :y

That takes me back to when I visited Barry in the late 1970s.  Thank God, and Dai Woodham, that the vasy majority were saved 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

That brings back memories. Was a student at Cardiff (UWIST) University back in the late seventies and lived at some halls of residence out at Barry.

Spent many a weekend exploring the site. An amazing experience and the steam preservation industry has a lot to thank Dai Woodham for. :)
