Memory Lane Cafe opens up in Newport to re-trace town's history
History will come to life in Newport after a memory cafe is set up to trace the town's history.
Newport History Society has been working on the idea for the cafe, which they hope to call Memory Lane Cafe, to allow residents to come together and look back through the town's archives.
The idea is for the history society to provide historical photos and memorabilia to jog the memories of some of the town's older residents.
Members hope it will be a two-way benefit to help those with memory problems and in turn, they will help the society fill in some of the missing history of Newport.
