    Thanks for that Marky - where abouts in the street is the plaque? Has it been there a while or just gone up?
    thanks

    The Little Wales plaque is on the right of Pall Mall, as you head out of town (North of Leeds Street junction). I only noticed it as I was looking at the former 'Liverpool Warehousing Co.' buildings.
    A Google search states it was put up as recently as August last year:

    Thanks Marky
    I'll have to go down and have a good look - I didn't notice it last time I was there so I probably need to go further down.

    Default Welsh chapels

    Travelling around north Wales and Anglesey, I have seen some curious looking churches.

    I have borrowed Quincy's L'pool dock rd silo photo to show how the silo reminds me of a church in Amlwch - does anyone know anything about the strange shape of these churches ? (well I think they are an unusual shape for a church)

    The first photo was taken in Ruthin. The black & white picture of Amlwch I found on the internet.

    hi lindylou, well i have found the one in amlwch, it's roman catholic, it's called our lady star of the sea. omg that took me ages.
    any way it has something to do with the thetis a submarine built in cammell laird's.
    she had her first sea trial on the 4th march 1939.
    she sank during trails on the 1st june 1939 with the loss of 99 lives. how sad is that.
    a full naval funeral with all honors was held, so maybe at the church,
    well she was salvaged, repaired, and recommisined as h.m.s.thunderbolt.
    she was then lost with all hands on march 4th 1943.
    any way i hope this helps.
    debbie
    im not very good with p.c.'s otherwise i would have put all the link's up
    but if you on wikipedia it'll tell you everything about the thetis

    The only submarine ever to sink twice.

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    Default "Ugly House"

    I took this in 1988. Known as 'Ty Hyll' in Welsh, it can be found on the A5 at Capel Curig. When I used to go to Wales as a kid we would always pass it.

    Info can be found here:
