Wildings, Newport
Wildings, Newport
In an era of frequent changes such as shops closing, new ones opening up,
familiar names rebranding etc, Wildings is an oasis of stability.
The family-run independent department store has been here at
165 Commercial Street since 1931. The business traces its origins
back to 1874, when Alfred Wilding, a native of Shropshire, came to Newport
at the age of 21 to serve the merchants and trade created by the expanding
docks. He opened for business as a hatter and glover at 154 Commercial Street.

UPDATE August 2018. Wildings is to close down just before Christmas 2018. See Link
