And the episcopal archives are bliss. Maybe the De Wachter Huldeboek has pictures of classes?

Wow, well done. Have not read all but I have some info on August edmond de Schrijver/Schryver, who attended the school in Barmouth. There was a school gazette kadocheritage.be/items/show/1...

Along the Cambrian Coast The coastal area of the former county of Meirionydd hosted many Belgian Refugees, primarily in Barmouth where at one time it was reported that there were over 400 – so many so that the town n…

Published today! The largest chapter we've ever written - by far. It has taken so many years to research and write. Much information here about the #BelgianRefugees in #Barmouth and #Tywyn. Take a wander along the Cambrian Coast here: refugeesinrhyl.wordpress.com/cambrian-coa...

What about the mobile bathroom he took with him when he left for Antwerp, does it still exist, if so where?

On asylum moves in the spending review today: Steve Smith, CEO of Care4Calais - “Moving from former commercial hotels to accommodation situated within communities would be welcome, but what the Government really needs to end is the for-profit asylum accommodation model that has created billionaires"

I never had to look for this in libraries or archives as several copies have been available all along. But now that I managed to get a copy myself I was surprised to see the size of the Report. Sassoon paperback just for comparison.

The Country Estates of Maelor Saesneg Maelor Saesneg, or “Flintshire Detached” was an exclave of Flintshire County that was completely separate from the main body of the county, and surrounded by Denbighshire, Cheshire and Shropshire…

Two new chapters published today! Both concern the area once known as Maelor Saesneg in north-east Wales. The country estates took in some noble families from Belgium - tinyurl.com/saesneg and one family of #BelgianRefugees who came to Penley stayed and made a life here: tinyurl.com/famdoex

Keir Starmer, you claim huge and damaging cuts are vital so we can buy arms and defend ourselves. Prove it | Owen Jones Splurging the cash is not the answer to Europe’s security jitters. Let’s ignore the hyperbole and decide what’s actually needed, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Security includes digital & energy security.

& most of all this entire project will fail & boost the far right if Labour tries to pay for it from cuts to public services & welfare.
