RECENTLY SOLD IN PENARTH
Properties
Local agents WATTS & MORGAN have recently sold properties in the following areas...
originally residential housing, but the owners sacrificed their front gardens to build shop extensions although the original house archi- tecture can still be seen above the current shops. Most of the town’s fine architectural features owe their origin to the landowners of the time and the results of their vision can be seen by the many grand buildings and parks which make Penarth what it is today. Thanks to the generosity of those far sighted landowners, Penarth earned its wide reputation as “The Garden by the Sea” because of its beautiful parks and open spaces. Further- more, many of the buildings and features of the town have led to a substantial part of the town being designated as a Conserva- tion Area because of its Victorian/ Edwardian architecture. Penarth’s town library was opened in 1905, thanks to a donation by the Carnegie Trust. The town’s gothic style Police Station and town gaol opened in 1864 opposite the
Windsor Arms brewery. With the arrival of the railway connection to the Welsh valleys in 1878 came the regular influx of day trippers, often hundreds of them at weekends and bank holidays. The developing summer holiday trade was supported by a large number of quality hotels that provided nearly two thousand bed spaces. The biggest and grandest of the hotels were the Esplanade Hotel on the seafront built in 1887, The Marine Hotel at the mouth of the docks, The Royal Hotel at the top of Arcot Street, The Wash- ington Hotel opposite the library and The Glendale and Lansdowne hotels on Plymouth Road. Apart from the major hotels, accom- modation was also available at the smaller Dock Hotel, Penarth Hotel, Ship Hotel, Westbourne Hotel, Plymouth Hotel, Windsor Hotel, Railway Hotel and dozens of mariners’ lodging houses at the top end of the town. All have now closed with the exception
of the Glendale and a handful of small and more recent bed and breakfast establishments. In August 1966 a 600-ton pleasure steamer, Bristol Queen, hit the pier causing an estimated £25,000 damage. In March 2011 planning permission was granted for a £3.9 million revamp of the pier to re-open the pavilion as a major tourist attraction. The new plans included a cinema and observatory. In September 2012 the restoration work began on the pavilion with a projected cost esti- mated at £4 million, funded by the lottery, the Welsh government, the Vale of Glamorgan council, Cadw (part of the Housing, Regenera- tion and Heritage Department of the Welsh Government) and the Coastal Communities Fund. Work was completed and the pavilion reopened in Autumn 2013
