    36:12 Those markers were placed on the floor to mark the trail walked by the Chartists on their way to the Westgate Hotel 🙂.
    Only fairly recently they were all laid, and were funded by "Our Chartist Heritage", who were the volunteers maintaining the Westgate, and who now have that shop in the City Centre we've spoken about before 🙂.

    That estate agent sign looked foreboding, Crook & Blight = sounds like Newport!!! If you thought that hospital looked derelict? you should see Panteg!! The old water fountain outside of St.Woolos Cathedral used to be outside the top gate of Belle Vue Park. I wondered what happened to it? I last saw it in the late 80s. The park you sat down to eat your food was a cemetery, there used to be tomb stones and headstones going down the park. I hoped rested were removed properly not just the stones!!?? I used to go to Queens Comp. On Stow Hill , used to eat my food in the same park.

      Looks like I'm going to Panteg haha, I love exploring places I've been. We both have good taste because the view from that park is pretty awssome. Shame about the local crack head here and there lol

    It’s so strange seeing someone explore and be taken back by the Handpost 😂 I used to live opposite the church, you showed my old house. Curry and chips from the Slow Boat was a staple and all three Indians there are excellent. I still regularly go to the pub.

    The Jewish place, that's their Synagogue, which obviously is the Jewish equivalent to a Christian Church. And then the lane next to it is actually known as Jew's Wood, if ever you've heard it mentioned around Newport 🙂.
