More about this scene
Surrounded by some of the oldest trees in Penarth, children on the bridge gaze toward the camera. In 1884 gas lamps were installed along the route to the beach. Two years later the path was incorporated as a public highway with commensurate investment. The turn of the century would see the rustic bridges replaced by iron ones, asphalt laid in sections, and steps cut into the steepest slopes.
