Forty years after the closure of the Aust ferry service, photos of Bob Dylan waiting at the terminal are being shown. BBC1 local news programme "Inside Out West" uncovered the story behind one of rock music's most iconic photographs - 7.30pm Mon 11 Sept.

A moody Bob Dylan is captured waiting for a ferry across the River Severn. In the background you can see the first Severn bridge, which was nearing completion.

The photo was taken in 1966 by Barry Feinstein, an American photographer, and became the cover of Dylan's album No Direction Home. Dylan was in the UK touring, and had just completed the first date, 10th May at Colston Hall in Bristol. Unprepared for Dylan's new musical style and his electric second set, many folk purists in the audience booed and heckled - no wonder Dylan is looking moody whilst waiting for the ferry to the second gig of the tour in Cardiff. It became known as the Judas tour, but of course, the change in direction marked him as something out of the ordinary and made Dylan's career into the legend we all know.

The following day, as he set off in the rain for his next gig in Cardiff, the boos were still ringing in his ears. So it's hardly surprising he looked a bit moody as he waited for the ferry.

Barry Feinstein has rediscoverd the original proof sheet from that day in 1966. Along with the cover shot are several others which have not been seen for 40 years. It's possible they could now end up exhibited in the proposed Severn Princess ferry museum.
