Newport and District Civic Society has arranged a tour of the High St. with a difference.
Conducted by local resident, Mr. Martyn Withnal, the tour will take place on Tuesday 30th July at 7.30 pm, starting outside the Tavern in Upper Bar Newport, from where the tour will move along the High Street, hearing tales of local characters from the 1950’s and 60’s and will include reference to pubs and shops that were there at the time.
The tour will tell stories about some of the Newport characters (some names will change to protect the innocent or guilty)
