Framed Print of Cardiff - Old - The subway under the River Ely, which provided a short cut between

Cardiff - Old - The subway under the River Ely, which provided a short cut between Cardiff and Penarth for 63 years, has been closed to the public. British Transport Docks workmen have begun boarding and bricking up the entrances at Penarth Docks and Ferry Road, Grangetown. Construction of the tunnel started in 1899 and it was opened to the public the following year. It replaced earlier rowing boat and steam ferries across the river. When Cardiff and Penarth docks were thriving, the tunnel was a boon to dockers and others connected to shipping. A toll keeper, who collected a penny from pedestrians, two-pence for a bicycle and four-pence for a pram, was last employed in 1937. A spokes man said there was no further use for the subway which had been dammaged by vandals - 1st October 1965. © Mirrorpix
