Barry Dock Offices

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barry Docks Offices is a council building in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan in south-east Wales. It was built in the late nineteenth century by David Davies to regulate the substantial coal exporting trade which had grown to world prominence in the town Barry Docks.

The Dock Offices were badly damaged by fire about ten years ago, but have been restored by Associated British Ports (ABP), and now house part of the Vale of Glamorgan Council. The statue of David Davies, the man responsible for the building of the docks, stands in front of the offices.
