Newport Library
This curious building has a chequered history. The battlemented masonry arch on the right is a relic of a previous building which collapsed into the street. The ruins were an eyesore in Newport High Street for years, while lawyers wrangled over who should pay to rebuild it. At last the local authority took a hand and the present, hybrid structure was erected to house the library.

35 - 39 High Street, Newport
The white, stuccoed frontage to this building hides a late 18th century construction, to which the shop fronts were added later. The whole place attracted a Grade II listing https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101177842-35-35a-37-and-39-high-street-newport#.YOTJwOhKjIU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1177842 in 1978.

The lodge which dates from 1615 seems no longer to be a bookshop.
