Real Newport Summary

Real Newport by Ann Drysdale

Britain's youngest city as you've never seen it before. Just another Victorian port or an Elizabethan maritime centre? A featureless South Wales town or a growing city on the verge of massive and original redevelopment? The new Seattle (Paul Flynn MP) or a haven for single mothers working the system (John Redwood MP)? From the splendour of Tredegar House to the towering presence of the Celtic Manor Resort, from the bland sixties shopping centre to the delightful Transporter Bridge, from the decline of the soccer team to the continuing proud tradition at Rodney Parade, it's a place full of contradictions and characters. Join Ann Drysdale in her offbeat exploration of Newport - old and new - and its people, as the city becomes the latest place in Wales to get the 'Real' treatment.

About Ann Drysdale
