  Barry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barry (Welsh: Y Barri) is a town in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales.
It is the administrative centre of the Vale of Glamorgan, and home to Barry Town F.C. Originally Barry was a small village neighbouring the larger villages of Cadoxton and Barry Island.
Although still a port, Barry is more important now as a manufacturing town and as a service centre for the Vale of Glamorgan.

 The Story of Barry scrapyard
Barry had been developed as a major port for the export of coal due to the fact that Cardiff, the main port of export, could not cope with the vast quantities being shipped.
Unfortunately, Barry suffered the 'boom and decline' ravages of the declining coal industry and the depression years of the early part of the 1900's, and its trade changed to include other imports and exports.
During 1965, 65 locomotives arrived at the Barry scrapyard, however, in the first six-month period 28 engines were dismantled but cutting virtually ceased from the autumn onwards as the scrapmen concentrated instead on breaking up yet more freight wagons and brake vans.
