1856
Merlin. 3rd March, 1856 A man named Benjamin Joyce of Cardiff fell over the high paving on Stow Mill on Wednesday night while the worse for liquor. Re was bruised on the shoulder and cut over the eye. Mr Woollet to whom he was taken attended to his injuries.
A memorial signed by the Mayor, Corporation and inhabitants generally has been forwarded to the Trustees of the Newport Roads praying for the removal of the Turnpike-Gate at Stow Hill to the finger-post on the Bassaleg Road and close to the Borough boundary. The present gate is a grievance much complained of by the ratepayers resident outside the gate in question and we hope soon to see it removed.
The ragged School, Newport first originated with Mr. James Jones who, being actuated by a noble feeling of rescuing much-to-be-pitied children from destruction, with self-devotion and self-sacrifice, has opened a "ragged school" in the neighbourhood of Friars Fields. The school in question is carried on in the long clubroom at the back of the "Sunderland Inn," 31 Llanarth Street. Mr. Jones has as many as 450 children from the locality under his care and tuition at any one time. [ Back ] |
