Woodham's scrapyard at Barry Docks was home to two Great Western King 4-6-0s 6023 and 6024. Until 6024 was removed for preservation in March 1973 the two were coupled together with 6024 at the rear.

 

On that basis this is a shot of 6024 King Edward I. The Small Prairie behind is 5541. Both are preserved, 6024 at the West Somerset Railway and 5541 at the Dean Forest Railway.
