'''Barry Scrapyard ''' is the colloquial name for '''Woodham Brothers Ltd''', formerly Woodham & Sons, of Thomson Street, Barry, Wales. The scrapyard was responsible for saving more than 200 steam locomotives, including 15 now 13 currently based at the SVR.
==History==
The business was founded in 1892 by Albert Woodham. After his retirement in 1947, the business was run by his youngest son Dai Woodham. It employed around 200 people and encompassed Transport, Marine and Metals as well as the scrap metals business for which it is best known.
By the late 1960s, more than 200 locomotives had reached Barry and were attracting the interest of fledgling preservation groups such as the SVR. The first locomotive to leave the yard was no 43924 in September 1968, destined for the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. Acquisitions continued even as more locomotives were sold, although the greatest number of locomotives in the yard was thought to be around 221 in mid-1968.
By the early 1980s around 150 locomotives has had been ‘saved’ from Barry, with groups such as the ‘Barry Steam Locomotive Action Group’ and ‘Barry Rescue’ being formed to help preserve those remaining. The last ten locomotives passed into the ownership of South Glamorgan County Council (and latterly the Vale of Glamorgan District Council) with the intention of establishing a Welsh Railway Museum. However further sales from the ‘Barry 10’ followed and now in 2016, only 2 three ex-Barry locomotives remain at the site which is now the home of the Barry Tourist Railway.
==SVR current ex-Barry locomotives==Of {{As of|2024}}, of the 24 21 locomotives currently resident at the SVR that were owned by BR or the ‘Big 4’ Four’ companies, 14 13 were rescued from Barry. 6 Four others came direct from BR (1450, 43106, 45110, 46443, 47383 and 48773), 3 three from the NCB (813, 1501 and 7714) and one from London Transport (5764).
