Barrack Hill still exists in Newport and can be found at
www.streetmap.co.uk
The barracks also exist and are still used by the military in the form of
the Territorial Army (TA). The local Soldier, Sailor, and Air Forcemen
Association (SSAFA) Offices are also based there.

Regards
Graham

Durham and can't answer your question, but I noticed that you are in
Monmouthshire and wondered if you could answer a query of mine.
