From Location Post​

Is this it on the link below? It was the only pic I could find?
Norman or another Welsh speaker please translate.

Newport is not that far from Bristol, it wouldn't take me long
to get over there especially if I took the train, if the building
is the same as the pic above I could be very tempted.

The welsh text on that site is more about copyright and current location of the actual item, not about the building in the painting - so i cant confirm if that 'Newport College of Art, Clarence Place' is the same place as Sheep is talking about.
Found another photo of the Clarence Place college,

from newportpast.com

+ found some on flickr - ere

Hey,

yeah thats the place its quite a big building and the fires have taken there toll but still worth haveing a look

 

[Bishop]

Right I'm up for a visit, I'm without a car at the moment but
I notice the station is just down the road, I could get the
train over one evening and meet up with you Sheep2405.

No worries I could pick you up from the station, is there anyone else you think would be interested. Over the next couple of days I will take some external photos and put them on my site so we can find the best access in.

Norman might be up for a visit, I'd be surprised if he wasn't
interested? I'm definitely up for an evening visit, thanks for
the offer to pick me up from the station.

Access pics sound useful but it might not be wise to post snaps
here, lets keep such snaps to personal messages please.

I'm looking forward to meeting up and checking this place out,
I'll PM you later Sheep2045.

Yeah Norman was interested but not heard from him in a while, hopefully we can get a small infiltration party, as they say saftey in numbers.

 

[norman]

Yep count me in please - sorry for being slow and not being here much to express my interest! Depending on when you go - ill either be in Cardiff or Brizzle - both of which are less than 30mins away!

 

[sheep2405]

No worries think its going to be Mon or Tue night. Think there has been a lift sorted out for you. Want to get some more piccs of the building but there are some on my site I took the other day.

 

[Bishop]

Good work on doing a recce Sheep2045, damn that place
looks good. Either monday or tuesday evening is fine for
Norman and myself, I'll pick up Norman and we'll arrange
time and where we're meeting via PM.

Really looking forward to this.

Hey Thanks to Bishop and Norman for an amazing look around the Newport Technical College last night. Thanks to Bishop for the drinks and the smokes. We will be going back next week for a better look. Bishop there are the pictures of my Knee afterwards in the gallery as well. The Cut was only about 5mm and has something stuck in there don’t look like glass though. Thought it would be a lot bigger after the amount of blood on me leg and in my sock.

 

[norman]

Yep, twas a good trip - always cool to meet new explorers. Got in just in time for some nice early evening sun, and a guided tour by a homeless guy ! Photos will be up whenever i get back to C'diff [sunday?] Hope the knee is recovering ok!

 

[sheep2405]

Hey

Yeah knee is not to bad got something stuck in there but it will come out with time, cut was only small. Got all the photos in the gallery section now if you get chance to have a look. cant wait to see yours and bishop's.

See you next week for part two.

 

[krela]

Heh, that's a pretty comprehensive set of photos

Any chance you could update the first post of the thread with some more details and a few pertinent photos when you get a chance?

Cheers

 

[sheep2405]
