Barry Dock Offices

The Barry Dock Offices, located in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, is a historic council building overlooking the docks. Constructed between 1897 and 1900 in the Baroque revival style, it features striking red brick and Portland stone architecture, designed by Arthur E. Bell. Originally built to support the booming coal export trade, the building includes a prominent clock tower and a statue of industrialist David Davies, who played a key role in its establishment. Despite suffering fire damage in 1984, it has been restored and now serves as part of the Vale of Glamorgan Council. The building is recognized as a Grade II* listed structure, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in industrial history and architecture.
