The Gatehouse Heritage Centre
The Gatehouse Heritage Centre was opened in May 2010 In Newport Provisions Market (NP20 2DD).
The unit is to promote the Jerome Gatehouse Collection Trust and to bring it to the attention of the people of Newport and surrounding areas.
There is a large display of posters and pictures and we are able to play music as well.
The Unit is now well established in the Gallery and has quite a number of visitors; unfortunately it is only open three mornings a week at the present time. We are awaiting news of 2 young people who can be employed on the future jobs scheme. They will work ten hours each and will be able to keep the unit open most days. We also have a young volunteer from Careers, on a NACRO training scheme who loves military bands and is very keen to learn more.
We have had several uniforms donated; two from s RAMC TA band along with a Band Banner, one RAF jacket and a complete Royal Marine Uniform along with other items of interest, instruments and model soldiers. Dudleys (a local firm) have very kindly donated cupboards and display units.
