 Vale of Glamorgan Railway
Five years after moving to Barry Island, March 11 2001 was the first milestone in the VoGRC's plans to establish a railway heritage centre, when the first train made several passes along the causeway from Barry Island to the site of the Waterfront platform at Hood Road.
Barry Tunnel closed in 1971 and is currently used by a shooting club, but the long-term hope is to reclaim it for the heritage centre to run trains through it to the Pier Head.
At Barry Island, the rail heritage centre is a high-profile attraction at the town which has been a traditional kiss-me-quick, (cotton) candy floss, and fish and chips holiday resort for almost one hundred years.

 Barry Comprehensive School: Teifion Phillips, an appreciation
In 1914 the railway and docks town of Barry in South Wales was the greatest coal-exporting port in the world.
The grammar school was already in the habit of producing shooting stars for the academic firmament: through its redbrick late Victorian buildings in the 1930s had passed the archaeologist Glyn Daniel, the Cambridge economic historian David Joslin and a future Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University, Sir John Habakkuk.
It was all of a piece with him: the willingness to discover deeply and then disseminate widely what was truly of value for meaningful lives to be lived – and was palpably present in all he said and did for successive generations in his school and his town.
