My father Jim Donovan worked as a Coal Trimmer at the dock, a dangerous job. He lost his fingers in a coal shoot accident. Thank you for the video so many memories.
Brilliant selection of photos, one of the locomotives based at my local heritage railway (the Garw Valley Railway) came from Cardiff, though not from the docks but Ely Paper Mills, do you know what music this is?
If anyone has a picture of SteamShip Ulla Boog that delivered pit props in the 1940's She was later named SS Mary Baird I would be very gratefull thanks.

Hello jane jones
I always heard alot about Cardiff docks my uncle worked in queen Alexander dock
In 1913, Barry was the largest coal exporting docks in the world, not Cardiff.
