Glimpse history through old images of Newport Castle, in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

When Newport received city status in 2002, it became the third largest city in Wales. Luckily filmmakers took an interest in the area even as far back as a century ago, so we have great visual records of the town’s people and places in the past.

The city and unitary authority area of Newport is found in the Southeastern corner of Wales. Once famous for its docks which transported huge quantities of coal throughout much of the industrial revolution, today the third largest city in Wales offers history enthusiasts a wide array of resources and attractions.
