A LARGE archive of material including photographs stretching as far back as 70 years is to go on display next Saturday (January 23).

The collection belonged to the late Derek Jones MBE, of Monmouth, whose son and daughter-in-law Owen and Sheila Jones are bringing the archive to the spotlight.

Mr Jones was well-known in Monmouth and died two years ago at the age of 88.

The display will be held in the Priory Rooms at St Mary’s Church in Monmouth from 10am.

Light refreshments are available.
