Chris Riley will be giving a talk on the Victorian history of St. Joseph’s including the old St Joseph’s Church, Arcot Street and Maughan Street. The talk is being hosted by The Friends of St Joseph’s Park. The talk will encompass the pubs, people, shops and boarding houses in the streets that overlooked Penarth docks in Victorian times and will be a very interesting take on the town’s earliest streets.

Chris Riley is a well-known Penarth Historian and a committee member of the Penarth Civic Society.  The talk will take place on Tuesday 11th October at 7.00 PM in St. Paul’s Hall, Arcot Street. It is free to members and there will be a small charge of £3.00 for non-members. Any additional donations towards the group and its work in improving St Joseph’s Park would of course be gratefully received..

Non Members can pay via Eventbrite
