    I remember having an early solar powered
    radio in the late 1950s - early 60's.

    Truly, The solar powered radio first came into existence in the 1950s.

    Cannot recall the name / model / make - maybe Dan Dare. LOL.

    Culleys' hotel and restaurant, which became the Chain Locker. (Barry Dock Hotel)

    Barry Dock Hotel opened in 1891 as Culley's Hotel and Restaurant, with free drinks for all customers. The hotel was extended twice in its lifetime by the addition of further rooms. The sidebar used by seamen and dockers was known the world over as the 'Chain Locker' by Merchant Seamen and was immortalised by Alexander Cordell in his book 'Rogues March'. The building was demolished in 1983 and Phillipa Freeth Court was built there.
