New Market Street, in Usk, Monmouthshire, is regarded by many residents and tourists as one of the most attractive streets in Usk, a Conservation Area. It has a wide range of buildings and styles from the earliest - pre-16th century - through the Georgian and Victorian periods, with examples ranging from half-timbered to terraced and double-fronted residential homes. This book, well-researched and written by Usk resident John Barrow, tells the story of the buildings on the street and brings to life some of its more colourful historical inhabitants.
