The Legacy of Woodham Bros. Yard at BarryFifty years after the start of engines arriving for scrap and twenty years after the last of 213 locomotives departed from the famous Woodhams yard at Barry, this film looks at the way in which Barry changed the railway preservation map of Britain. An interview with the late Dai Woodham reveals the background to the whole miracle which started in 1959 with the first five engines arriving from Swindon. Nearly 300 were eventually bought for scrapping, but 213 escaped from the yard to begin the preservation boom in the UK.
We see rare photographs from the Woodham family archive which show the beginnings of the scrap business in the redundant coal sidings at Barry docks. Archive films show the locomotives filling the yards to capacity before they started to depart. Film of the Barry 10 and of the future for a regeneration scheme for the dock area which includes the re-building of several engines at the Great Western Society at Didcot and at Llangollen into long-lost types, such as a Grange, Saint and County
