Weinwick, 22 February 1979

A wireless set is installed in the town hall at Weinwick so that the evening bulletin may be heard in public. The bell was rung at the town hall and the townspeople turned out to see. Speaking to this journal, a boatman from the lower quay said: 'The dog knew before any of us.'

The matter will be raised at the next meeting of the town officers, when the ratepayers will hear of it in the usual form.

Concerning: Weinwick, Salt Street.
