Helwick Lightship Cardiff Bay

Helwick Lightship Cardiff Bay

Finally the sun shone a little in 2012 in South Wales' New Year after days of rain and grey skies.

I managed a cup of tea and cake on the lightship in Cardiff Bay.

"Eileen"  Newlands colliery  South Wales March 1961 by John Wiltshire

"Eileen" Newlands colliery South Wales March 1961 by John Wiltshire

[Neg 1543]

Newlands colliery was a small slant mine between Pyle and Port Talbot where coal was mined under the sea.
It was just underneath where now the M4 motorway crosses the mainline to the east of Margman railway yards.
The site is now totally landscaped away today. There was a short branch north off the mainline into the mine.
