A very old photograph probably around 1890. Trinity Church on the right and St Mary's in the centre. The block of shop and houses next to the steps has not yet been built, allowing a glimpse of St Thomas' in the distance. The shops were built around 1891 so the photograph pre-dates that. Newport Inn ...
During 2019-2020 this ground at the rear of the Newport Hotel was being cleared for possible future house building. The photographs show what appears to be extensive cellar space. These cellars would have provided storage space below the old stabling for the inn.
