Wendy Horton, a professional historian with Victoria County History (Shropshire) will share interesting findings from the research into the buildings and history of Newport’s drinking establishments. This is a major collaboration of VCH with NDHS working towards the publication of the Newport Red Book and has already involved many hours of volunteer work from our members. Additionally, Linda Fletcher will talk about coaching, posting and gig hire on the old London to Chester Road and Cathryn Ross-Talbot will outlining the work that our volunteer members have been completing as part of this project. Hopefully this also motivate interest in supporting the the next stage of this project which will be outlined on the night.
