As many of you will know Cecil Street, by the Turk’s Head pub, is a one way street that cannot be accessed from Newport.
Terry Mackown was the last person to drive down it legally coming from the Newport direction. He had dropped a friend off by the Newport Arch to buy some meat from the butchers. There used to be a butcher’s shop there before it became the Klogz shoe shop.
He pulled in down Cecil Street to wait for the friend. As he was parked there two workmen came and put up No Entry signs either side of the road. To my knowledge he was the last person to ever drive down that street in a Westerley direction.
Somewhat poingant methinks.
