Goods Yard, Cardiff Docks, 1943
The Goods Yard at Cardiff Docks in September 1943 is the subject of this image. It features a group of three women unloading boxes from an open railway wagon. Staff shortages at docks at the beginning of the war led to more women being employed. Dock workers were also given permanent contracts and paid the minimum wage. This made the jobs more appealing. By 1943 over 100 women were employed in a variety of roles at Cardiff Docks
