The Liverpool Welsh ( A happy thread )

[julieoapw]

Meet at 2PM at Victoria Monument in Derby Square on Saturday 1st March. Cost £3. I hope to cover the importance of chapel, Welsh builders, Eisteddfods in Liverpool, Little Wales, The Welsh bonesetters, Owen Owen and Sir Alfred Lewis - that's if I get my finger out and get writing!

Don't forget T J Hughes shop as well. Also not every Welsman worshipped in a chapel. Remember St David's Church of England church, Brownlow Hill's services were all in Welsh and several other Church of England churches ran some services in Welsh eg St Paul's

Yes, I will also be talking about St Davids.
Having trouble finding out anything about T J Hughes on the web - if you have any link, I'd be greatful

Not seen anything on the internet. I once attended a talk about the history of T J Hughes shop. Their present one in London Rd was once owned by Owen Owen. T J Hughes had a smaller shop on London Rd nearer the town centre. If you contact the company, they should be able to help you with the store's history.

This overtly displays the Liverpool Welsh connections. The Welsh virtually built Bootle.
