The big freeze in Newport 1923. According to records, 2.5 feet (75cm) of snow fell in Braemar in November 1923. It looks as if Newport had something similar.

View down Station Brae. Before World War II this ground had been a putting green, but during the war it was dug up and used for allotments as part of the Government's Dig For Victory campaign. The allotments were maintained after the war until the town council built houses there for the elderly.
A more peaceful West Road, with the row of houses (Woodend) on the left very recognisable. The main difference from today is Miss Crichton's grocery shop in the end of the block.

View over Victoria Street and beyond. Railway line is seen but no medical centre. On the right is the tall, slender spire of St Fillan's Church and on the left the squat tower of St Thomas' stands out.
This postcard shows the beach and the Braes, including the boat slip, the drinking fountain, the roof of the swimming hut and Royal Buildings.
This postcard shows the view down Station Brae from Newport East Station. It probably dates from the 1930s when the ground on the left was a putting green.

Postcard view from the Braes towards the old granary, gasworks and old and new piers.

They camped each year near Inverdovat farm and used the pier at Woodhaven for exercises on their Singapore biplane flying boats. The pier would see more ...
