Barry Scrapyard in the Late 1970s and Early 1980s is a fond photographic tribute to this iconic part of Britain's railway history.

Growing up in north-west London in the 1950s and living alongside a busy freight line, the seed for a fascination with steam was firmly planted in the young Geoff Barker’s head. Later in life he was able to visit Barry Scrapyard and recorded the locos seen there over a seven-year period from 1977 to 1983. He then went back in the early 1990s to photograph every last remaining locomotive. Those holiday stop-offs at the famous scrapyard created a wonderful photographic record of a unique place.

Through this selection of striking images and informative captions, Geoff Barker and David Holland celebrate this long-gone but much-cherished scrapyard.

Geoff Barker is a broadcaster and musician who grew up in the 1950s alongside a busy north-west London freight line. Steam railways have always been a part of his life and the Barry Island Scrapyard soon became family folklore. Geoff now lives in rural France. David Holland is a self-employed business owner. He is a fan of heritage railways, and enjoys exploring archives of slides, photographs and data. David and his wife live in Dorset.
