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-)

Post by: Carfix on 15 December 2010, 14:36:41: 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. :)
