Barry is a town located on the coast of the Vale of Glamorgan. It was founded in the late nineteenth century around a quay and a railway line that connected it to the coalfield. Prior to that, Barry consisted of a collection of small agricultural communities with a limestone port. The funfair in the region attracted travellers from the neighbouring mining communities. With the expansion of Cardiff as a key coal exporting harbour and the growth of the South Wales coalfield, Victorian entrepreneurs identified Barry’s potential as a perfect place to take advantage of the export of coal. The town saw rapid growth with the construction of the docks.

Today, Barry is reinventing itself with the refurbishment of many of its former dockland neighbourhoods for residential and shopping purposes. Luckily, the economy of Barry has diversified over the years and even though the loss of trade via the port severely affected some sectors, the town has managed to survive. Barry’s future looks bright and the town has successfully maintained its unique appeal, says Vernon Pethard of www.newhomesforsale.co.uk, the leading new homes property website.
