The shops of Newport.

This local convenience store is located on the corner of Salters Lane and Beaumaris Road.

The building on the left has a sign saying "The Coachmans House 2C New Street". Underneath it is another sign saying "Pigfold". In a directory of 1828 there is a tavern or public house called "Pig Fold" in the High Street. So it seems very likely that this is the back of it. On the right is the back of 2b New Street "Britannia House". Again this may have been an inn or pub long ago, and the archway is especially intriguing. It could have led to a passage to the High Street for bringing horses through, but it has to be said this is pure speculation! Image

An old building which may be a survivor of the 1665 fire, which destroyed most of the town. Possibly was an inn or pub at one point. Image Image

Not a lot of buildings remain in New Street. This is the oldest and probably most interesting bit. It was closed to traffic on the day the photograph was taken. The Parish Church can be glimpsed in the distance. Image

17th century timber framed house in the centre of Newport, one of the very few buildings to survive the great fire of Newport in 1665. Now a coffee shop, renowned for its indulgent cakes.

Britannia House Dental Practice occupies part of the building known as Britannia House in New Street. The building, from the outside, appears to be very old. Possibly it was one of the few which survived the fire of 1665. Maybe there was once an inn here called the Britannia, which gave rise to the current name? Around the back of the building, and visible from the adjacent public car park, is an arch, which might at one time have had access to the High Street. Possibly there were stables at the back and this arch was part of a passage used to bring horses through. Image Image
