A simple offset multi to bring you to an interesting piece of local history.
The South Wales Valleys were the centre of the 1839 Chartist Uprising. The history of the Chartists is well documented, and you can read about it in the description of my Virtual cache "The Chartist Uprising" (GC88ZPK). In 1978, a mural was created in Newport City Centre telling the story of the Chartists. The original mural was 35 metres long and 4 metres high, and constructed from over 200,000 pieces of coloured ceramic tile. In 2013, despite considerable public opposition the original mural was destroyed by Newport City Council to make way for a new shopping centre.
In 2019, this scale-down replica of the original mural was created by the son of the artist who created the original. The site for this replica was chosen for its location and distance from the Westgate Hotel. Information at the site will tell you why.
At the site you will see an information panel describing the petition which was handed to parliament on 12th June 1839. This petition had more than a 7-digit number of signatures - call those digits A, B, C, D, E, F, & G. The cache is not at the posted co-ordinates, but is approximately 55 yards (50 metres) away at a bearing of ABD degrees.
