There are 25 business units here, similar to Nissen huts, owned by Woodham Brothers Ltd. They were built in the 1970s under the direction of Dai Woodham, to provide low-cost units for local businesses. The late Dai Woodham is most often remembered today as the owner of the scrapyard in Barry which formerly contained hundreds of scrapped steam locomotives, many of which were bought by heritage railway companies and others, for restoration.
