On Thursday, May 19 at St Augustine's Hall at 19:00, Chris Riley will be talking about "The Kymin and West House: fragments of the past", at a Penarth Society meeting.

The Kymin is considered a Penarth treasure, West House rather less so. But both are exceptional.

The talk will tell a story full of farmers, smugglers, Cardiff toffs, politicians and businessmen and show how these two buildings and their inhabitants reflected the changing fortunes of the village and the town and are among the few survivors of a past landscape otherwise almost completely lost.

Entry is free to members and £2.00 for non-members, tea and coffee will be served from 18:30.
