Hi Galen, well I was brought up in Newport, Rogerstone, I remember the Llanwerne steelworks being built when I was 16. When we were kids my mum and dad used to take us to Coronation park and we we used to go over the transporter bridge from the top, one sunday I lost my sandel as we climbing the steps. never to be seen again. Memories i will treasure,I often go to Newport shopping I will give you a wave. ha ha( I think it was Coronation and not Corporation)???? confused
