About Barry - show infohide info

Barry is a Welsh town in the Vale of Glamorgan. The name of Barry, or Y Barri in Welsh, derives from St. Baruc who was drowned in the Bristol Channel and buried in Barry Island. Barry lies on the south coast of Wales not far from Cardiff, and is a holiday resort with its own beach and funfairs on Barry Island. Only over a hundred years ago, Barry consisted of three small villages and a few scattered farms in three parishes - Barry, Merthyr Dyfan and Cadoxton. Today, Barry has swallowed these and Barry Island. Barry town was originally a fishing port, and underwent development when it became a coal port in the 1880s. The coal trade had taken off far more rapidly than the facilities at Cardiff Docks could manage. In response, a group of colliery owners formed the Barry Railway Company and evidently chose to build the dock at Barry. The work on Barry’s new dock began in 1884, with the first dock basin opened in 1889. Coal was brought to the docks from the valleys by the Barry Railway. The port thrived, and was filled with hip repair yards, cold stores, flour mills and an ice factory. Come Barry was the largest coal exporting port in the world. Barry is still a port, but its major industry now is manufacturing, and servicing the Vale of Glamorgan. Barry Docks and the adjoining industrial area form the largest employment centre in the town. Most of Barry’s industrial firms are set in the dock area, the largest being Cabot Carbon who manufacture chemicals, and Dow Corning, who have developed the largest silicones plant in Europe. Other large industries in Barry Docks incorporate Jewson Builders' Merchants, Western Welding and Engineering, Rank Hovis and Associated British Ports. Since 1982, Associated British Ports have run the Barry Docks and others as successors of the British Transport Docks Board.
