Antique photograph of Penarth
Antique photograph of seaside towns of Great Britain and Ireland: Penarth.
Penarth had been a popular seaside destination, even before the town was started, accessible by water from Cardiff. Omnibuses and the railway brought in more visitors, and donkeys and bathing machines and refreshment stalls appeared along the front. The Estate took it properly in hand from the 1870s, creating gardens and a fine esplanade, and giving support to a boathouse, public baths and finally a pier
