Barry’s 10-metre ‘stink pipe’ vents sewage gases but its history remains unclear (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For months I've been trying to get the right image of this, 'monument'. I've even sent Joe from our Facebook, Barry and District Museumeers, and Michelle out to get the right shot, but I've decided on this one. But before that, I wanted to mention our event on Sunday, alongside two other announcements. On Sunday we celebrated at St. Barruc's Chapel, Barry Island, the feast day of the saint. There was a small turnout, but nonetheless, the September 27, 2026 celebration of a very Barry and Distric

After looking so much into our buildings from the Barry and District, I haven't looked at some of those odd artefacts for a while! Writing these items each week does fill me with a sense of pride when I receive a phone call or an email about how much people enjoy reading them. I'm reminded of one such call some time ago from a Mr. Brian Keitch of Penarth, and a frequenter of the Barry and District, on those times past.

We have more than one discussion point today. I will start by talking about Katherine Beaudette. Katherine was announced to have passed away recently.

On another point, I have had in-depth discussion with Chris Jones, the manager of Jones Dairies in regards to their his

Whether you know the protected fenced off ruins on Barry Island as the place of St Barruc, Baruc, Baroc, Baruch and so on, September 27 is the annual feast day of the saint. A real saint or not, being an archaeologist, it is part of my growing up in the Barry and District. I produced an amazing inch by inch plan in 1989, which sadly has never been published - that is, up until now. This month Richard Enos and I, with a cover illustrated by Michelle Harrhy, will send a book entitled Barry with Ca
Reminiscing on one of Barry's much loved hotels (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before we reminisce on our building this week, I wanted to update readers on the interesting building at Greenwood Street, the week before last. Yes, I did have that conversation with Chris Jones, of Jones Dairies and Sons, and we have some great stories but I am awaiting some extra tidbits. We will run a short history on one of the Barry and Districts oldest continuous running business, if not next week, but the week after. Now to the old hotel. Joining the list of once popular hotels in Barry
