IT USED to be that a car registration number would tell you immediately where that vehicle was from - just with two letters.

Newport's two letters were DW - a car with a registration number featuring those letters was instantly recognisable as being registered in Newport.

We asked members of our We Grew Up in Newport Facebook group to share their pictures of vehicles featuring DW numbers and were inundated. Here is just a small selection.
