Description
Jan Preece's nostalgic portrayal of Newport spans three decades of great change.
The 1960s, 1970s and 1980s were marked by significant transformations in the city. Traditional industries based around its docks declined as shopping habits shifted with the rise of supermarkets and leisure facilities developed at home. Meanwhile, fashions reflected radical changes in society, while transport evolved to accommodate new road schemes.
This fascinating book recaptures the essence of Newport during these most nostalgic decades, offering a unique glimpse into the city's people and places over time.
