Penarth Pier And Promenade

We went out Saturday afternoon for a stroll on the pier and beach at Penarth, caught a few nice snaps on the pier which is looking more worse for wear every time we visit. Why someone's not snapped it up and turned it into a club or something is beyond me. Given the money in the area now it's going begging for some use or other. Just caught the sunset as well, so some nice candy floss fairground colours in a few of the snaps.

We wondered around some of the back streets and up to the point where you look down at the barrage. Didn't realise the were so many Art Deco buildings in the town.; 2:16 PM
Dio Bach said...: Hi Rhys, there's some lovely architecture around Penarth - I like those old buildings down by the Barrage as well - they're a bit older though.; 11:46 AM

Undoubtedly Bodacious said...: I love those angled shots, very striking!
I havent been to Penarth that many times, but seeing those pictures assures me that a trip would be quite beneficial for some mass photo's ;-); 4:47 PM
