Tree-lined school entrance gates, Rogerstone, Newport
Viewed across Ruskin Avenue towards Mount Pleasant Primary School in January 2014.
On Thursday September 4th 2014, the school featured in the world media and on the front page of the White House website after it was briefly visited by US President Barack Obama, along with British Prime Minister David Cameron. Later that day, both men went to the NATO summit being held at the Celtic Manor a few kilometres to the east. The visit was the result of a letter sent to the White House and an appeal on Twitter sent by the Deputy Headmaster.

King George V postbox, Ruskin Avenue, Rogerstone, Newport
Located near the corner of Sward Close. A postbox sometimes indicates when the adjacent houses were built, but this is not true here. King George V reigned from May 1910-January 1936. A 1940s map shows that this area was farmland. There was a road nearby at that time, Groes Road, so it seems likely that the postbox was installed for a farming community.
