Thursday 20th November at St Augustine's Hall, Albert Road

Guest Speaker : Chris Riley

Subject; The Windsor-Clives

Without the Windsor-Clive family, Penarth as we know it would not exist. They acquired the land, made it accessible, designed and created a completely new settlement. To them we owe the quirky street plan, the odd street names, the parks and gardens, the feel and character of the place. But who were they?

The talk will trace how the Windsors and the Clives - long little known outside their respective midland counties - seized opportunities to increase their wealth and influence. Marriage between them created one of the most important families in Victorian Glamorgan, and Penarth remains indelibly marked by their energy and vision.

Doors open 6.30 PM, talk starts at 7.00PM.

Free to Members, Non Members £3.00, Non members 18-25 £2.00
