Newport Hatches, Matches and Dispatches
Hatches
We all take home delivery from Amazon and others for granted nowadays, but back in 1941 home delivery meant something completely different. In Newport it cost the princely sum of £4 and 10 shillings. Cheap at the price!
Matches
Wedding in St Thomas’ Church 1954.
Dispatches
Funeral costs in 1924 included charges for the Tay Ferries but still only came to £18.75. But more expensive to depart than to arrive.

My brother Alastair Law was born in Netherlea in 1955. Sadly he died in what had been the labour ward in 2004
