WELCOME TO PENARTH

CROESO I BENARTH

elcome to Penarth’s official Town Guide! This excellent publication, sponsored by Penarth Town Council, aims to bring you a host of information on what you can do in our town, where to go and what to see. If you are already a resident of Penarth, this guide will almost certainly point you to some activity or local business that you didn’t even know existed!

Each year, the Town Council organises the exciting Summer Festival, with a busy programme of activities running over a ten-day period. With the unrivalled support of local businesses in the Penarth Chamber of Trade & Commerce, the Summer Festival is now better than ever.

The Town Council has also joined with the Chamber in organising Christmas time events in the town in late November and December each year.

A more recent innovation is the Penarth Youth Festival, a partnership between the Town Council, the Vale of Glamorgan Youth Service and Penarth Youth Project. This event offers a range of activities for our young people and has been widely welcomed by everyone taking part.

I would also ask you to support the scores of events put on by our local clubs and organisations. You can take part in just about every sport, activity or social organisation you can imagine.

All of us at Penarth Town Council hope you enjoy this community guide, and feel sure that you will want to keep it handy for future reference.

OVERVIEW

THE BEAR FACES TWO WAYS

P

enarth seems to face two ways at once: it is both one of the most sought after commuter towns surrounding Cardiff, close enough to enjoy the facilities of the metropolis and sharing access to the Cardiff Bay artificial lagoon, at the same time as being an upmarket coastal resort fiercely guarding its independence from the Welsh capital. This duality is reflected in its administrative status: for local government, it is part of the county of the Vale of Glamorgan but the political constituency is that of Cardiff South and Penarth (once held by former Prime Minister James Callaghan).

It is bounded by Cardiff Bay in the north, the sea in the south east and the open countryside of the Vale of Glamorgan in the west.

The town has a Town Council which took over some of the assets of the former Penarth Urban District Council when that was abolished in 1974 to make way for the Vale of Glamorgan District Council (now the unitary authority of the Vale of Glamorgan). The population is just over 23,000, making it easily the second biggest town in the Vale after Barry.

Penarth has always been the home of choice for Cardiff’s top brass, ever since its great villas started appearing in the 19th century, although the north side has had its areas of housing blight, now in the process of being redeveloped.

The town acquired its own waterside apartment quarter in 1987 when the old Penarth dock area was redeveloped as the new marina. Being at the foot of Penarth Head, this area was relatively isolated until recently: now there is a new pedestrian and cycle bridge over the Ely River,

Alexandra Park, the jewel in the crown of Wales’ “Garden by the Sea’; below, the Penarth coat of arms

dubbed Pont y Werin (the people’s bridge), connecting the Marina directly with the facilities of Cardiff Sports Village and completing the 6.5 mile Cardiff Bay circular walk; meanwhile an experimental bus service will operate from the Marina up to Penarth centre from this summer (2010).

The town has never forgotten its role as a coastal resort: it is to be hoped that efforts to gain funding for the renovation of the pier pavilion will be successful and that other elements of the front will be developed in a way fitting of the “Garden by the Sea”.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

T

he town’s name has been the subject of some speculation over the years. It was commonly assumed to mean “bear’s head” (from the Welsh elements “pen”, head, and “arth”, bear), an assumption that led to the design of the new Penarth civic insignia in the late 1890s to include a bear’s head and a further two bears standing either side. However, “pennarth” (with the stress on the first syllable) is an obsolete Welsh word for a promontary, probably deriving from the elements “pen y garth” or “hilltop”, and it is now thought this is the more likely origin (and was indeed the reason why the local Welsh medium school adopted the name “Pen-y-garth”).

The bear remains, however, a familiar and distinctive symbol for the town.

THE HEADLAND THAT GOT AHEAD

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Penarth Pier; and, below, St Augustine’s Church, paid for by Lady Windsor

P

enarth’s exposed headland must have been a convenient look-out point in ancient times, but perhaps a little inhospitable as a place of permanent residence. The beach faced away from the prevailing western winds, but there is no natural harbour as such and the steep valley down which the Dingle stream flowed would have been difficult to climb. We know the Romans landed goods at the natural harbour formed

by Barry Island further down the coast where they built a supply depot, but we have to venture a mile inland to Llandough to find evidence of a Roman villa near Penarth. In later centuries, there was a Celtic monastery around that same spot. After the Norman invasion, an Augustinian priory was established on Penarth Head itself and the surrounding manor lands given to the priory for its maintenance.

There are few ancient buildings

in the area, probably because the population, chiefly agrarian or engaged in fishing, was so sparse.

However, St Peter’s Church at Old Cogan Hall (on the Dinas Powys side of the town) may date from as early as 1180, about 100 years after the Norman invasion of Wales.

The oldest extant house in the area is Cogan Pill House (the so called “Baron’s Court” restaurant) at the Cogan Spur junction which dates from 1554.

In the 18th century, long after the Church had been divested of much of its possessions, the manor, along with St Fagan’s Castle in Cardiff, came through marriage into the hands of the Earl of Plymouth, the 7th Baron Windsor, a descendent of Baron Windsor of Stanwell in Buckinghamshire.

The population of the Manor of Penarth by 1803 was a 

he Windsor name and others associated with it crop up on street signs all over the town.

The family owned the lands of the manor and developed the town.

There is no blood link with the royal Windsors, although the family did also take its name from the Windsor in Berkshire, having come over with William the Conqueror.

An Andrew Windsor was knighted at the Battle of the Spurs in France in 1513 and inherited the manor of Stanwell in Middlesex.

He was later forced to give the manor up to Henry VIII, being awarded lands in Worcestershire in exchange.

A descendent of his became Lord Lieutenant of Worcestershire and Governor of Jamaica and was created Earl of Plymouth.

His grandson was made Lord Lieutenant of Glamorganshire. By this time, the Windsor family also had estates in Shropshire.

In the 17th century, a female of the line married a Hickman from Surrey. The Windsor name and fortune were continued in the early 19th century by another female member, Lady Harriett, who married a descendent of Robert Clive (that is, ‘Clive of India’, whose victories included those at Plassey and Arcot). The family seat was St Fagan’s Castle which the Windsor’s had acquired, along with their lands at Penarth, when Other (a form of the name Otho) Windsor married a daughter of the Lewis family.

HISTORY

WHERE ARTS FIND A HOME

A

lways a retreat from the industrial hubbub of Cardiff, Penarth has developed into a haven for the arts.

The Paget Rooms have provided a concert and theatre facility since 1906 (except for a brief period in the 1930s as a cinema). They were built on land leased from the Windsor Estate and named after Alberta Paget whom the Earl of Plymouth had married in 1883. The building is Grade II listed. Penarth Urban District Council acquired it in the 1950s and then it was transferred to the new Penarth Town Council. It was here in the 1970s that Welsh band ‘Man’ recorded its cult album “Live at the Padget [sic] Rooms, Penarth” and Tom Jones gave one of his last performances before moving to the US. The Washington Gallery was built in Art Deco style in the 1930s specifically as a cinema when the medium was at its height. Now an arts centre, it is run by a not for

profit organisation, Penarth Arts & Crafts Ltd, which is also leading a project to re-open the pier pavilion as a museum and heritage centre.

James Pyke Thompson was a 19th century corn merchant and a keen art collector. He built the Turner House Gallery in 1888, named after the painter J M Turner, in order to allow the public to view his collection. Thompson’s family gave the gallery to the National

Museum of Wales in 1921 and it was used for some time to display some of their collection. It is now used by Ffotogallery, the organisation in Wales promoting the photographic arts.

 mere 72. Lord Bute built his first dock to export Valleys coal in Cardiff in 1839, but even as late as 1851 Penarth is still recorded as having only 24 houses and a population of 105.

But now the Windsor family could see the potential of coal exports and by 1865 had built a docks based around Cogan Pill, a tidal creek at the mouth of the River Ely. They were not to be disappointed by its performance. At the height of the industry in 1913, over 4.5 million tons of coal were exported from Penarth docks in that one year. The Windsors were jealous of their source of wealth: they also owned Barry Island, and refused to allow a rival docks to

be established there until 1884, fearing it would deprive them of business.

A flourishing docks needed a town to house its workers. The town first developed north of Windsor Road along the ridge top and centred around the junction of Arcot Road and High Street with many of the first shops on Glebe Street. It was only later towards the end of the century, as Penarth became gentrified and the grander houses of professionals and managers appeared on the flat plain to the south, that the centre of gravity was pulled out of sight of the docks towards Windsor Road, the seafront and railway station.

By 1901, the population had

risen to 14,228.

A number of small limestone quarries were dug across the town to produce building materials both for Penarth itself and rapidly expanding Cardiff.

Examples are Belle Vue Park, Cwrty-Vil playing fields and the former Billybanks estate.

The railway line to Penarth, was opened by the Taff Vale Railway Company in 1878. With the railway came an influx of holidaymakers and Penarth’s role as a coastal resort took off. In an effort to maintain the town’s gentrified air, the Windsor Estates Office sought to discourage those they called “the rabble from the hills”.

BUILDINGS

VICTORIAN SPLENDOURS The polychromatic interior of St Augustine’s; top left, the library; bottom left, Trinity Methodist Church.

P

enarth is considered to have some of the finest Victorian architecture in South Wales, much of it constructed with local limestone and brick made of marl mined in Cogan.

In 1972, a large part of the town was designated as a conservation area and there have been a number of extensions and adjustments to the area since then. By 1993, there were 38 listed buildings and structures in the town. These range from St Augustine’s Church down to letter boxes.

S

t Augustine’s is not the only impressive 19th century church in a town with more than its fair share of such buildings. The casual observer could be forgiven for assuming Trinity Methodist Church on Stanwell Road (pictured above) to be the Parish Church because of its size and traditional Anglican design, enforced, it appears, by the Anglican landowners. It was designed by Cardiff architects Jones, Richards and Budgen.

S

t Augustine’s Church stands where there was an Augustinian religious community established on Penarth head some time after the Norman invasion.

The church that stood here in 1865 was demolished to make way for a new and larger church financed by the Baroness Windsor.

The new church was designed by the Gothic revival architect William Butterfield who was apparently asked by the Admiralty to retain the design of a saddle-back roof on the tower because this had become a

well-known seamark for sailors. The top of the 90-foot high tower is a total of 320 feet above sea level.

The church is designated a Grade I listed building and is considered one of Butterfield’s most important buildings in Wales.

The interior is notable for its polychromatic brick-work.

There is a medieval cross inside the church which once stood in the churchyard and is badly weathered. The grave of Joseph Parry, composer of ‘Myfanwy’, is in the churchyard.

GREEN SPACES

THE GARDEN BY THE SEA

P

enarth well deserves its soubriquet “the garden by the sea”: over the years delightful public green spaces have been created throughout the town.

The long and narrow Windsor Gardens were laid out in 1884 to take advantage of the south-east facing sea front. There was an admission charge until the Earl of Plymouth gave the grounds to the public in 1932.

The jewel at the centre of Penarth’s green crown is Alexandra Park, created in 1902 and named after the wife of King Edward VII. It includes an aviary.

Belle Vue Park was created out of a former quarry. It has been awarded the coveted national Green Flag Award for four years running for its cleanliness, safety and good maintenance.

Penarth Head open space, around 200 feet above sea level, is one among a number of pieces of land donated for the recreation of the public by the Windsor family.

In good weather, walkers get excellent views of the Severn bridges near Chepstow and the Somerset and Devon coast. To the left are

good views of Cardiff Bay and the Barrage. In the open sea beyond the Barrage, is the Cefn-y-wrach sandbank where a sponsored charity fooball match was played in 1984. In the distrance to the right is Lavernock Point, the southern limit of Penarth Bay and the place where, in 1897, Guglielmo Marconi send the first radio message across to the island of Flat Holm, ushering in a new age of communication with the words “Are you ready?”

A linear park called The Railway Walk has recently been developed along the old railway line from Penarth Station as far as Cosmeston and there are plans to extend the walk as far as Sully.

For many years, visitors and residents alike have enjoyed strolling along the cliff walk which is now part of the Vale of Glamorgan coastal path.

Most of Cosmeston Lakes Country Park is also within the community of Penarth. The lakes themselves were once limestone quarries. The country park includes a variety of habitats in over 100 hectares of land and water. Some 46ha have been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest in recognition of their rare and diverse plant and animal species. The park also contains the Medieval Village project, a reconstruction of a 14th century village on its original site.

PENARTH’S ITALIAN GARDENS

T

he idea for a sea front garden at Penarth came from Constance Maillard, who was the first female chairperson of Penarth Urban District Council (1924-25).

The garden was laid out according to plans drawn up by Ursula Thompson, the first female gardener to graduate from Kew Gardens. She took the classical gardens she had worked on restoring in Italy as her inspiration.

The gardens opened in 1926 and were first named ‘Beach Rock Gardens’. The current name only caught on later.

Plants include palm trees and a fig tree. There is a plaque in the garden commemorating a visit to Penarth by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales in October 1991.

PEOPLE

PENARTH PEOPLE

France to English parents and spent most of his life in that country, although he was never naturalised.

During his stay in the Cardiff area he married his partner. He moved on later to the Gower where he produced at least another eleven oils. (Pictured: “The Bristol Channel from Penarth”.)

CENTRAL TIME

T

he pillar clock on the town centre roundabout was erected in 1987 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Penarth Rotary Club. The Golden Jubilee Clock was presented to the townspeople to mark the close relationship of the club with the town and was funded by public subscription. Penarth Town Council is now responsible for its maintenance., and holds a bound book of subscribers.

Dr Joseph Parry’s (1841-1903) most famous compositions are the part-song ‘Myfanwy’ and the hymn tune ‘Aberystwyth’, but he also wrote a variety of chamber, orchestral and choral music. He was the first professor of music at University College, Aberystwyth, founded a private school of music in Swansea and ended his career in the music department of University College, Cardiff. He lived in Penarth and is buried in St Augustine’s churchyard.

TOWN TRAILS

T

he Penarth Society and the Town Council have developed a series of twelve town trails providing a fascinating insight into local landmarks and historical facts.

They will shortly be available for download from the Town Council website.

FALL OF BANKS

A

long-awaited part of the town’s regeneration now underway is the redevelopment of the notorious “Billybanks” 1960s derelict housing estate above the docks. The estate was demolished this year (2010) and the new development will include a proportion of affordable housing.

Alfred Sisley (1839-1899) spent a brief four weeks in lodgings in Penarth in 1897, but this Impressionist painter who mainly concentrated on landscapes is forever connected with the town where he produced at least six oil paintings of the sea and cliffs. One of these, “The Cliff at Penarth, Evening, Low Tide”, is in the National Museum, Cardiff. Sisley was born in

Saunders Lewis (1893-1985) was a writer, political activist and campaigner for the Welsh language, but his reputation now chiefly rests on his dramatic works. He is widely considered to be the greatest dramatist in Welsh of the last century and to be of international standing. He was born in Wallasey on the Wirral and in 1922 became a Welsh lecturer at University College, Swansea. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1970. He lived in Penarth towards the end of his life and is buried in Penarth Cemetery.

Penarth seems to attract great athletes. Colin Jackson, who lives in the town, was three times world champion in the 110 metre hurdles, won a silver medal at the Olympics and remains the 60 metre hurdles world record holder. Tanni GreyThompson, who has won a total of 16 medals in the Paralympic Games, including eleven golds, in wheelchair races over 100m-800m, was educated in the town, as was the swimmer David Davies (pictured below) who won the silver medal in the men’s 10km open water marathon in the Beijing Olympics and bronze in the 2005 Athens Olympics for the 1,500 metres freestyle.

PEOPLE Wing Commanger Guy Gibson (1918-1944) led the Royal Air Foce’s 617 Squadron on Operation Chastise during the Second World War, the so called “Dam Busters” raid, which destroyed two dams in the Ruhr area of Germany in 1943. His connection with Penarth dates from 1940-43 when he and his wife lived with her parents in their house on Archer Road. He had met their daughter, Eve Moore, at a party

15

in Coventry in 1939. The bouncing bombs used in the Dambuster Raids required great skill to deploy and at great risk to the airmen involved. The dams were subsequently repaired but took valuable forces away from the front for their protection. Gibson died in 1944 when his de Havilland Mosquito crashed in Holland.

Sir Edward Youde (1924-1986) was Governor of Hong Kong from 1982 until his death. He was born in Penarth. During his time in the office, Britain and China signed the Joint Declaration which included provision for the territory to be handed back to China in 1997 after 156 years as a British colony.

He was widely admired for his erudition and pleasant manner.

A fund was established in his honour after his death to provide scholarships for Hong Kong people to undertake research.

enarth Town Council serves and represents the town at local level. The Council consists of 16 elected members who determine the policies that are carried out through a team of staff headed by the Town Clerk.

The Town Council is responsible for Penarth Cemetery, the Paget Rooms, the Kymin, several leisure garden sites, open spaces and features as well as the Council offices and grounds at West House.

It organises the Penarth Summer Festival and Christmas activities including the Christmas street

decorations.

In addition the Council plays an important representational role by presenting a local viewpoint on a wide range of issues affecting the town.

The Paget Rooms is an all purpose public hall for hire for shows, concerts, dances, receptions, exhibitions, coffee mornings etc.

Set in approximately 4 acres of ground, the Kymin is a meeting place for clubs and organisations which can be hired for a variety of activities including receptions and children’s parties.

Combining in its name the Italian word for town, ‘città’, and English ‘slow’, the concept originated in Italy. Each Cittaslow town commits to working towards a set of over 50 goals and principles that aim to improve its quality of life. They aim to support local businesses, foster local traditions, protect the environment, welcome visitors and encourage active participation in community life.

he transformation of Penarth’s disused dock area into a brand-new residential and leisure marina quarter in 1987 set the tone for the wider development of Cardiff Bay which followed, impelled on further by the eventual completion of the Barrage.

The coal trade had finally disappeared from Penarth Dock in the 1950s; up to 1965 the Royal Navy used it for mothballing destroyers and frigates. Later, it suffered the ignominy of being used as a rubbish dump.

Penarth Marina consists of around 400 yacht berths surrounded by waterside homes and boatyards. The former doublesector lock gates which once opened onto the Severn Estuary (accessible only at high tide) now let boats into Cardiff Bay at any time. Access to the estuary is via the lock gates of the Barrage.

Cardiff Bay covers about 200 hectares and is fed by the rivers Taff and Ely. This freshwater lagoon was created by the Cardiff Bay Barrage (pictured above), a 1.1km long embankment linking Penarth to Cardiff docks. The Barrage received Royal Assent in 1993 and was completed in 1999 at a cost of £120m. It incorporates locks, bridges, sluice gates and a fish pass. The Barrage Embankment has been landscaped to create a linear park stretching across the mouth of Cardiff Bay.

P

enarth’s original developers rapidly understood that besides providing housing for dock workers, the town’s mild climate and sheltered coast suggested a future as a resort.

But they first needed to tackle the difficult access to the beach.

The Esplanade was built in the 1880s using a foundation of rocks cut from the cliffs during the construction of the road down from the south. With Plymouth Road and Beach Road, the Esplanade formed a new circular route for those arriving at the railway station. It was originally 36 feet wide, but proved so popular that it had to be widened by another 20 feet in 1927. The Esplanade was again refurbished in 1987 by the Cardiff Bay Development Corporation as part of its plan to improve the whole Cardiff Bay area and attract inward investment.

Striking buildings on the sea front include the former swimming baths. Built in 1884 it originally used sea water. It is now a residential property.

T

he pier, which is a grade II listed building, was originally built in 1894 and is one of the last remaining Victorian pleasure piers in Wales, although it has undergone substantial repairs over the years including those after ships collided with it during bad weather in 1947 and 1966.

It is now owned by the Vale of Glamorgan Council.

From the beginning it provided both a promenade deck and a landing jetty for steam ships crossing the Bristol Channel. It is still visited, during the summer months, by the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world, the Waverley, and the traditional cruise

ship the Balmoral which depart on afternoon and evening cruises. The first public hovercraft service in the world operated between the pier and Weston-super-mare in 1963 (it lasted only one season).

The pier pavilion was built in the 1930s after a fire had destroyed the former wooden structure and decking. The exterior of the pavillion was refurbished in 2006 but the interior, currently used by Penarth Gymnastics Club, is still awaiting investment. The charity Penarth Arts & Crafts, which runs the Washington Gallery, is attempting to attract grant money to create exhibition, café and concert facilities.

PEOPLE GET THEIR BRIDGE

P

ont y Werin (“The People’s Bridge”), opened to the public in July 2010, connects Penarth to the rest of Cardiff Bay and the International Sports Village.

The only access previously was dangerously and illegally across the Cogan Spur road bridge. The new 140 metre bridge, which opens to allow large vessels through, is a further link in a cycle route planned to reach Barry and the rest of the Vale.

The charity Sustrans secured a grant towards the scheme in a contest run by the Lottery in 2007 involving a nationwide telephone poll. Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan councils, the Cardiff Harbour Authority and the Welsh Assembly provided the rest of the funding.

Pont y Werin is not the first pedestrian link across the Ely. In 1902 a pedestrian tunnel was opened connecting Penarth to

Grangetown to enable residents to work in Cardiff. It was used as an air-raid shelter during the Second World War. The tunnel was bricked up in 1965 as it was considered too expensive to maintain.
