Porthkerry Park and Viaduct


Beneath the towering structure of Porthkerry Viaduct, a bugler summons a shooting party who make their way through the snow. The cold weather has made ice rinks of large puddles in the park and family/friends of Henry Gethin Lewis senior and junior try out their skates. Henry senior, his wife Ann and 8 children lived at Porthkerry Rectory, Barry [it became the Egerton Grey Country House Hotel]. Henry junior later lived in Penarth, at 'Clifffside' [now demolished].
