Story of the month

Every month we offer a tantalising glimpse of just a few of the riveting tales that await the reader in Journals published each year since 2002. 

From Fishguard to Forthlin Road

(a Fantastic Christmas Present and a must for any local music fan).

 

This month we feature the story of ‘20 FORTHLIN ROAD: A McCartney family home’ by Kevin Roach published in our 2010 Journal.

This story traces the McCartney family roots and their journey as they cross from the North-end to the South-end of the City and go on to conquer the music world.

It also helps remind us that this year we celebrate the 30th year anniversary of the National Trust caring for and restoring 20 Forthin Road to its 1950s appearance.

 
The full story can be read in the Journal.
