Chris Riley: Edwardian Penarth

We are looking forward to hearing from respected local historian Chris Riley who is breaking with a self imposed tradition and has been researching beyond the Victorian era.

By 1900 Penarth was a well-defined community, and grew little through to the outbreak of war in 1914. This talk will look at what the town was like in that period, how it began modernising, and how external pressures influenced the town, as well as spotlighting some individual stories that made headlines at the time.

Entry is free for members and £3.00 for non-members

Doors open at 6.30 PM and the talk will stat at 7.00PM
