Hi Brian, not sure of your whereabouts, but I know the newsagents in Blackwood stock it.

I would love to have a copy of Glipses of Gwent by Rex Pugh, eitrher the 1932 or 34 version. Does anyone know where this book can be obtained?

During the 1920's and 1930's the postmaster at West end was Rex Pugh. He was a local historian and author of "Glimpses of west Gwent"
