Locks in Cardiff bay barrage

Looking through the narrow gap formed by the pair of breakwaters on the tidal side of the Cardiff bay barrage. Ships entering the bay pass through this gap and into one of the three locks visible at the centre.
Although not 'ancient and historic' yet, the barrage is registered in the Coflein[1] database Link
