Newyddion gwych! / Great news! Newport’s former Inmos Microprocessor Factory, by Richard Rogers & Partners with Anthony Hunt, has now been listed as Grade II*. Built 1980–82, it’s Wales’ High-Tech landmark, with structure and services on show and a flexible interior built for innovation.

We’re sorry, but tonight’s Zoom meeting: “C20th Schools in Wales” couldn’t go ahead due to tech issues. We’re working on rearranging it and will share the new date as soon as possible.
Mae’n ddrwg gennym, ond rhaid i ni ohirio cyfarfod Zoom y noson yma oherwydd problemau tech.Diolch am eich amynedd!
