    • Perhaps encouraged by the impressive public art on show in Newport's Streets, it would seem that less savoury members of Newport's population have taken it upon themselves to create their own installations of public art...

    I saw this in the mud banks beneath the battlements of Newport Castle - there wasn't just one, but a veritable 'exhibition' of half a dozen shopping trolleys mired in the mud here! I can imagine a modern artist or two jettisoning trolleys of the side in pursuit of that elusive masterpiece - or the Turner Prize...

    I said this place was a little rough around the edges... ;-)

    Still, if you're not into this kind of art, just pop along when the tide is in and you won't have to look at it.

     I havent heard of seen anything of Newport since my mother left my father dragging us four kids behind her to go to North Wales when I was 8. It was kind of spooky looking at my past. Very interesting though, thankyou.

     Great tips! You got me curious about the clock at John Frost Sq. Would you know if it's still standing? :D    		aaaarrgh Mon Dec 19, 2005 20:34 UTC
     Now, how come I've never seen your excellent "Cool Cafe" tips until now. Very tempting, thanks Gwilym!!
